How a Leading Paper Manufacturer Navigated From Unorganized Biomass Sourcing to Structured Biofuel Procurement with BiofuelCircle

India’s paper sector relies on a combination of recycled fibre, bagasse, and agricultural residues such as wheat and rice straw. Many mills choose agro-based inputs because they are locally available and offer cost advantages. Since paper manufacturing depends heavily on steam and process heat, energy remains a critical operational component for every mill. This makes biomass fuels like rice husk a common choice across the industry.
