Pulp consists of fibers that are extracted from wood. It varies in type depending on the combination of tree species, manufacturing methods, and other factors. Coniferous wood produces strong and tear-proof paper because of its thick and long fibers, while broadleaved wood produces less strong, yet smooth surface paper because of its thin and short fibers. We procure and sell a wide range of raw materials based on the intended applications of manufacturers. Through the distribution of forest-certified pulp, we promote the procurement of raw materials whose legality and other features can be confirmed.

Types of pulp

* Classification by wood type

    1) Coniferous wood (N material)  2) Broadleaved wood (L material)

* Classification by use of bleaching process

    1) Bleached  2) Unbleached

* Classification by manufacturing method

    1) Chemical pulp (KP,SP,AP)  2) Mechanical pulp (GP,TMP)

The different types of paper used by consumers as products and the waste paper generated by processors during processing are collected as recovered paper. After recovered paper is delivered to a paper manufacturer, it is deinked, bleached, and then turned into recovered paper pulp, after which it is recycled into paper again. This recycling ring is an environmentally conscious social system that allows us to carefully use the limited resources we have.

We procure recovered paper through our nationwide network and sell it to paper manufacturers.
