Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing worker who dissolves waste paper as raw material with water and chemicals to produce pulp slurry.
Description
Waste paper pulping workers collect used waste paper (damaged paper) as recycled raw material in paper mills, add water and stir using devices such as pulpers to loosen the fibers, and produce slurry-like pulp. They manage the types of waste paper input, removal of foreign matter, addition of chemicals (bleaching agents or cleaning agents), pressure, and temperature to ensure the specified concentration and quality. Main tasks include operating and monitoring equipment, initial response to abnormalities, daily inspections, and simple maintenance work. Since the factory environment involves noise, dust, high temperatures, and humidity, work must comply with safety and health regulations, and protective gear must be worn.
Future Outlook
While stable demand is expected due to increasing recycling needs and stricter environmental regulations, skill improvement in areas such as machine maintenance and quality control will be required as equipment becomes more automated and advanced.
