Paper

Synopsis: Paper making requires huge volumes of clean waters, consume large amounts of electricity and generates solid and liquid wastes. Looks in detail at a large modern newsprint mill to show how water and heat are recycled within the plant to minimise waste, the process of fibre recovery from waste paper, the chemicals used and the resulting sludge waste, and the treatment of effluent and emissions to minimise pollution to the environment resulting in a complex waste minimisation system which is continually being improved as economic conditions and legislative pressure demands.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
