What 17 includes

  • This division includes the manufacture of pulp, paper, recycled paper, and recycled products from wood, paper, cardboard, and corrugated board.
  • The manufacture of these products is grouped together because it represents a series of vertically linked operations. Several of these operations are often carried out in the same unit.
  • Pulp manufacturing involves separating the cellulose fibers from the impurities contained in the wood or dissolving and deinking recycled paper and mixing in small quantities of reagents to strengthen the fiber bonds.
  • Products made from recycled paper are manufactured from paper and other materials using various techniques.
  • Paper articles can be printed (e.g., wallpaper, gift wrap), provided that printing information is not the primary purpose.
  • The production of pulp, paper or board in bulk is included in group 17.1, while the other subclasses include the production of paper articles and products that have undergone further processing
