Which code does this activity belong in?
Pulp mills manufacture pulp by separating cellulose fibers from wood or other materials such as recycled rags, scrap paper, and straw. The boundary between pulp mills and paper mills lies in the final product; pulp mills stop after producing pulp, while paper mills take the additional step of manufacturing paper from pulp. Establishments that make paper are classified in Paper Mills regardless of whether they manufacture or purchase their pulp.
