This facility will be given to the general public at the mill gate itself so that people can directly sell the garbage deposited in their houses, and shop.

It was also said that trees are not cut in the process of making paper, but the new paper is made from old waste. NEPA Limited was initially based on forest produce. That is why it was established here. Earlier, salai wood and bamboo were used in the production of newsprint. Both of these were found in large quantities in this area. Now here is the paper product from Waste Paper.
Nepa Mills introduced pink newsprint paper
Until 1981, the Nepa Mill, which was the only newsprint production unit in the country, got the machine from America for the first time in 1956. The record of the introduction of the pink newspaper in the market in 1995 is also recorded in the name of Nepa Mill.
A paper machine was tried here a few months ago. The other one is in progress. If everything goes according to plan, the paper will be made by recycling the waste paper.
