Pulp and paper mill slashes chlorine use

Article Abstract:

Port Mellon, British Columbia-based Howe Sound Pulp and Paper Ltd. has succeeded in removing the use of chlorine in its mills as an environmental measure. The firm's action has resulted in a relatively clean environment characterized by snow-white mountains, blue sea and verdantly green forests. The company believes that chlorine causes too much corrosion in equipment and is also dangerous in cases where storage tanks containing the chemical burst open.

However, despite the success of some companies such as Monsanto Co. and Dow Chemical Co. to build chlorine-free facilities, many in the industry have remained opposed to the elimination of one of its most important materials. Politicians, furthermore, are not inclined to give the government more regulatory powers.
