K25TM Fibre Cement Pulp (FCP)

This EPD covers K25™ an unbleached speciality kraft pulp manufactured at Oji Fibre Solutions’ Tasman Mill in Kawerau, New Zealand. This is a high-quality pulp for use in speciality papers. K25™ is made from radiata pine fibres and is manufactured to tightly controlled quality targets.

Oji Fibre Solutions’ Tasman Mill is strategically located in the heart of New Zealand’s largest forestry region and within the Kawerau Geothermal System – the world’s largest industrial geothermal area. Most of Tasman Mill’s energy needs are met through renewable sources of biofuels and natural geothermal steam.

Tasman Mill’s quality and environmental management systems are certified to ISO:9001 and ISO:14001, respectively. Wood-fibre is sourced from sustainably managed plantation forests with FSC® or PEFC chain-of-custody certification or meeting the certification requirements for mixed or controlled sources. K25™ is available for customers to purchase with FSC® or PEFC certification.

The scope of the EPD covers forestry, pulp making, distribution to a typical market destination and assumed end-of-life.
