Environment & Sustainability

Treating every drop,
before it leaves the mill.

Our Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is an integral part of BDL's environmental management system — designed to treat wastewater generated during manufacturing, before it is discharged or reused.

What is the ETP

One of the most important utility systems in a paper mill.

At Bindlas Duplux Limited, responsible manufacturing extends beyond the production of quality paper and duplex board. The ETP treats wastewater generated during the manufacturing process before it is either discharged to the environment or reused within the plant.

Unlike the paper machine, the ETP does not make paper directly. Instead, it ensures that the water used during manufacturing is cleaned — helping the mill comply with environmental regulations, reduce water consumption, and improve sustainability.

Why It Matters

Every stage of treatment serves a purpose.

From intake to discharge or reuse, the ETP is designed around four outcomes.

Wastewater Treatment

Treats the wastewater generated during kraft paper and duplex board manufacturing before it leaves the process.

Environmental Compliance

Keeps treated water within prescribed environmental standards, helping the mill meet its regulatory obligations.

Water Reuse

Treated water is reused within the plant wherever possible, cutting down on fresh water drawn for manufacturing.

Reduced Consumption

Lowers overall water consumption at the mill, supporting a more sustainable, resource-efficient operation.
