The project will be funded by internal accrual and institutional loans. Also, the company will soon diversify into producing A4 copier paper, expected to be launched in the market later this year.

Commenting on the benefits, Khanna added, Being a recycled product it is environment-friendly, requires less power and hence creates a strong economic and environmental sense.

With a strong environmental policy, we are the market leader in the manufacture of paper board out of recyclable paper, in India. We offer our customers a varied range of products like coated wood-free recycle range of Duplex board, Ecobrite,

HISTORY OF KHANNA PAPER MILL

The story of Khanna papers begins with our Founder-Director Mr. Brij Mohan Khanna. Born on October 13, 1947, in the dawn of Indias newly gained independence, he grew up with ideals of service to the country and a fierce belief that India could and must excel. Bright and intelligent, he sought and got admission for an M.B.B.S degree. However a relook at his family finances made him decide that he would put his fresh, young mind to improvingthefamilyfuture. Starting with a small sum of Rs.10,000/- culled from the familys savings Mr. Brij Mohan set up a small paper plant in 1968 with the capacity of 200 Kg, and named it " Khanna Small Scale Industry". With his hard work and canny business sense, the plant flourished and grew. Never one to rest on his successes, in 1978 he started a Duplex Board Plant with a capacity of 5 metric ton. In honour of his father, Shri Rattan Chand Khanna he named it "Rattan Paper Mills". As this second plant flourished, the time came to increase the capacity and the product range. In1981, he put up another unit by the name of "Satya Paper Mills" with a capacity of 8 TPD of writing Paper. This was named after his mother Shrimati Satyavati Khanna. In small ways are the inner workings of the mind reflected Brij Mohan Khanna, remains a strong believer in family values. The difference is that today, the family comprises not just of his wife Renu Khanna and his two sons Rahul and Saurabh, but encompasses the entire staff and workers of Khanna Paper Mills. This perhaps is the underlying reason for the success of Khanna Papers the loving guidance and far seeing vision of Brij Mohan Khanna, whoisapatriarchinthetruesense.

ENVIRONMENT OF KHANNA MILL

Paper remains one of the most critically needed products reaped from the environment. Whether it is notebooks used by children in school, or the books that entertain and intellectually sustain us, whether it is the carton of toothpaste or the box of medicines, paper is an integral part of our lives. While we fulfill this critical need for society, we also remain mindful of the huge losses suffered by the environment through deforestation. At Khanna papers, we utilize as raw materiel paper waste imported from other countries. Thus we begin our manufacturing process by making use of waste, instead of wood chips obtained from cutting down of trees. Throughout our products, activities and services, we endeavor to minimise any adverse impact on the environment by means of pollution prevention, energy and water conservation. In this way, cost savings, increased operational efficiency and improved quality of products and services are achieved as well as a safe environment maintained for the community as a whole and a healthy workplace for the Company's employees pursuit of this policy, we believe:Environmental Protection and Waste Minimisation is the responsibility of every employee and persons working for and on behalf of the company and should be an integral part of their working life supported by training whenever appropriate. Every endeavor will be made to ensure that the Company meets its responsibilities by conforming to all applicable Environmental Legislation and regulatory requirements, and with other requirements to which the company subscribes, in relation to its environmental aspects. Prime consideration will be given to the prevention of pollution and the elimination of waste and emissions at source.
