Grass pulp vs. wood pulp
When it comes to sustainability, the production process for grass paper wins hands down against paper made of wood pulp – we achieve CO2 reductions of up to 75%! How do we do it?
- Low energy consumption (137 kW/h)
- Very low fresh water requirements (2 litres per tonne)
- Low-level logistics (within a radius of 100 km)
- No chemicals
- 1.2 tonnes of grass make one tonne of pulp
In comparison, the production of one tonne of paper from wood is as follows:
- High energy consumption (over 5,000 kW/h)
- High fresh water requirements (6,000 litres per tonne)
- High-level logistics (avg. 4,000 km)
- Heavy use of chemicals
(e.g. sodium sulphate, sodium sulphide etc.) - 2.3 tonnes of wood make one tonne of pulp
