Supporting paper production from stone in Hamadan
Hamadan Governor said calcium carbonate paper production is a valuable project for the province and said: "We support the construction of this environment-friendly industry in Hamadan."
According to Iran's International Stone Exhibition, Saeed Shahrokhi said at a meeting with the investor of a paper project on calcium carbonate: "The government supports all production and employment incentive schemes and provides the ground for investors."
He added: Supporting production and production is the top priority of government officials in Hamadan and we also support the plan to build a paper mill in Asadabad.
Shahrokhi pointed out that the industrial towns of the province have good infrastructure for any investment, adding: The project for construction of calcium carbonate paper production plant is being implemented in Asadabad industrial town.
Hamadan Governor emphasized: Although we are supportive of the craftsmen and are open to them, our attention and approach towards the environmental protection industry can be a good model for the optimal use of available resources and nature conservation.
He referred to Hamadan as an investment paradise and said: "The geographical location and security of this region has made it one of the best places for investors.
Paper production is a major turning point in the paper industry, and this technology is environmentally friendly and reduces energy consumption.
This process no longer requires water, boilers, acid, alkyls, bleach, no need for gas and water disposal and is economically 100 percent recyclable.
Producing paper from stone more than can be a good substitute for paper production can be a substitute for the many plastic uses in our lives today because the process of producing it is like the process of producing polymer films.
Although the finished price of this product is not yet competitive with traditional paper, it can create a lot of value added in the field of plastic packaging as well as complementary paper services such as waterproof paper, glazing and packaging.
Eighty percent of the constituent of this type of paper is calcium carbonate, which is abundant in calcareous rocks around Iran.
It may not be economical for European countries to produce this paper because their stone industries are not as rich as ours but it is very profitable for our country.
