- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Greenhouse gas associated with global climate change that results from the complete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels.
- Chain of Custody (CoC)
- The "Chain of Custody" concept ensures that wood and paper products are certified at each stage of manufacture providing a means to identify products that meet stringent environmental standards.
- Chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP)
- Variation of thermomechanical pulp produced by pulping that reduces energy consumption for certain paper grades by combining thermal pretreatment with chemical methods.
- Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
- Chemical substances which consume oxygen. It is a measure of theamount of oxygen required for the total chemical breakdown of organic substances in water.
- Chlorine Bleaching
- The use of either chlorine gas or chlorine dioxide in the production of chemical pulp. Used to fully separate out the cellulose fibres and to produce an acceptable white pulp.
- Chlorine dioxide (CIO2)
- Powerful oxidizing agent used to delignify and remove coloured substances from pulp. The oxygen in chlorine dioxide initially reacts with ligning. This initial reaction produces substances that can chlorinate the remaining organic material.
- Chlorine Free Pulp
- Should mean TCF (Totally Chlorine Free) pulp, but may also refer to ECF (Elemental Chlorine Free) pulp.
- CSR
- Corporate Social Responsibility.
