Enviromental Policies
The United Kingdom forests reflect changes in land-use over several thousand years. During this period the land, which was once largely covered with woodland, was cleared of trees and used to satisfy the demands of an increasing population. By the beginning of the 20th century woodland cover in UK was around 5%Today this figure has risen to 11.6% (2.8 million hectares) as the result of commitment to a steady programme of planting by successive governments, and the enthusiasm of many landowners and foresters. The United Kingdom has about 650 000 hectares of semi-natural woodland of which 288 000 hectares are classed as ancient and semi-natural (1.2% of land area). About the whole world forestland, near 15 percent of the earth land surface was covered by rainforest in 1950, but nowadays this amount decrease to 6 percent (about 2.41 million square miles or 625 million hectares) and more than two-thirds of this quantity exist as fragmented remnants. The largest unbroken stretch of rainforest is found in the Amazon River basin of South America. Over half of this forest lies in Brazil, which holds about one-third of the worlds remaining tropical rainforests. Another 20 percent of the worlds remaining rainforest exists in Indonesia and Congo Basin, while the balance of the worlds rainforests are scattered around the globe in tropical regions. Natural rainforests are habitat for many kind of animals, by deforesting woodlands thanks to the progress of homo-sapiens during years ago life of these animals have been on danger. One of these animals which life has been really affected is jaguar. Jaguars are some of the most majestic animals in the world. Unfortunately, as deforestation continues, the jaguar population continues to diminish.
Paper industries are one of related industry to woodlands. This industry has the potential to be recognized as a key player in ongoing efforts to protect environment with its ecologically adapted forest management techniques, continually improving environmental processes, renewable raw materials and recyclable products. Environmental preservation policies of these industries have a significant effect on future of forest resources around the world. Planting trees in vast scale for their consumption is the most important policy of paper industries. It can prevent changes on rainforest, which is homeland of fifty percent of earth plants & animals. Paper industry uses wood as a raw material. It is essential to use new or virgin fibres, to maintaining quality and strength of paper
Advanced irrigation system and efficient pulping process can economize paper industry more than expected. In producing the paper, the first step is to dissolve the material into pulp and next bleaching it. The reason of pulp bleaching is to remove the lignin content to obtain a lighter pulp. Lignin, which is degraded during the bleaching process accounted for 90% of the dark colour associated with unbleached pulp. The water is then pressed out of the paper and the residue is dried. Ninety-five per cent of the water used is cleaned and can be reused on-site. Making environmentally friendly paper means using methods that are less toxic to the environment and components that do not deplete the finite supply of certain raw materials. Other environmentally approach for paper industry is bleaching without chlorine chemical and using substituted process specifically elemental chlorine-free (ECF) and totally chlorine-free (TCF) process. These types of papers are made by using oxygen and hydrogen peroxide to bleach the wood pulp.
Jaguvar Company believes that preserving environment and managing the natural resources are two vital facts for our earth survival.
