With this set of documents, ZDHC appeals to its contributors and the entire MMCF industry to improve the quality of discharged industrial wastewater and production-related emissions to air. ZDHC expects also to support the transition of the production of MMCF towards a circular approach by proposing recovery rates for substances such as sulphur, sodium sulphate, NMMO, ammonia, copper and acetone.
This document does not include requirements for the process of converting wood to dissolving pulp for MMCF fibres and the work to add this process to the scope of the guidelines, as well as the publication date, is yet to be defined.
