Air and Water Management: Meeting the Ongoing Challenges, Paper360º September/October

When it comes to managing air and water quality, the hard truth is that, with seemingly unlimited resources available, mills of a century ago didn’t pay as much attention to effluent treatment or sustain-ability as they do now. Most deserved their reputations as dirty, smelly, and polluting.

Since that time, pulp and paper manufacturers have made tremendous strides to substantially change their environmental profile—and are beginning to win the battle of public perception to be seen as environmental stewards committed to responsibly managing the use of natural resources and continuously improving the quality of their air and water discharges. From those early concerns—through the establishment of the EPA in the 1970s, followed by burgeoning environmental legislation; to the dioxin controversies of the 1980s; and the 1990s-era issues surrounding endangered species (such as the spotted owl), as well as concerns about chlorine dioxide-based bleaching—each decade has brought a new set of environmental performance demands.
