Integrated pulp & paper mills

An integrated mill produces (part of) its own virgin/wood pulp at the same mill location. Non-integrated or semi-integrated mills must buy pulp on the market (market pulp). Paper mills using recovered paper are not using the nomination "integrated" configuration. Non-integrated = >90% of the fiber needs are purchased as market pulp. Semi-integrated = 10-90% of the fiber needs are purchased as market pulp. Integrated = <10% of the fiber needs are purchased as market pulp. Recycled = Same as Integrated, but the integrated portion is primarily recycled. Note that configuration is defined separately for each product per machine and the whole mill, which may lead to cases where a certain product on a certain machine has a different configuration than the mill as a whole. 

Analytical Cornerstone

• Market Level: Create a Custom Market and go to Cash Cost Curve
• Select the Data tab. 
• On the Data report, under “Configuration” you will find Non-integrated, Integrated, semi-integrated or recycled. 

• Or on Consumption, Consumable “Fiber”, you will find “Config” Non-integrated, Integrated, semi-integrated or recycled. 

• Mill Level: to see the configuration per machine, open any Mill
• Click on the Machines tab and select the machine that you would like to see this information for

• The Configuration of the machine and grade/product will be shown further down below on that report, next to the grade and annual capacity:
