Bagasse-Based Paper Manufacturing Plant Setup: Requirements & Process Flow

Bagasse-based paper is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional wood-based paper, produced using bagasse-a fibrous residue left after sugarcane juice extraction. Widely used in packaging, printing, writing paper, tissue paper, and disposable food service products, bagasse-based paper helps reduce deforestation, lowers carbon footprint, and supports circular economy initiatives. Its biodegradability and recyclability make it increasingly popular across food packaging, FMCG, and industrial applications.

Setting up a bagasse-based paper manufacturing plant involves sourcing high-quality bagasse, installing pulping, washing, bleaching, paper forming, drying, and finishing systems. Investment is required in advanced machinery, effluent treatment plants, power and steam utilities, and skilled manpower. Proper plant layout, automation, water recycling systems, and strict quality control are essential to ensure cost efficiency, environmental compliance, and consistent paper quality.
