 Pulp is made from the cellulose fibres of wood chips. It is the main ingredient in products we use every day - printed materials, writing paper, tissues, packaging, paper towels and many others.
Millar Western employs a totally chlorine-free process that uses a combination of mild chemicals, heat and mechanical action to produce bleached-chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP). BCTMP is also referred to as high-yield pulp, because the manufacturing process produces more pulp per tree than traditional pulping methods.
Significant quality improvements, many engineered by Millar Western, have greatly enhanced the versatility and performance of BCTMP in a wide range of applications. Characteristics such as bulk, stiffness and opacity make BCTMP highly suitable for products such as fine printing and writing papers, paperboard, specialty papers, tissue and toweling.
With an annual production capacity of 300,000 tonnes, Millar Western serves customers in all major pulp consuming regions, including Europe, Asia and the Americas.
