Bollant buys waste paper, recycles it into kraft paper and board at its own two mills, and manufactures packaging, industrial paper products and tableware from that paper at eight units in Telangana and Karnataka. Every line is set up so people of every ability can run it.
Bollant buys waste paper and fallen areca leaves as raw material, and designs every workstation so people of every ability can run it. Together they make paper, packaging and tableware that businesses buy on performance.
Waste paper and board are bought, graded and pulped at our own two mills. Fallen areca sheaths that farmers used to burn are pressed into tableware.
Two revived paper mills, converting lines and our own inks, adhesives and films turn that material into products made to a written specification.
Stations are built and retrofitted around the operator, so someone with a disability, or none, runs them safely at full output.
Customers choose us because the product works. It reaches them in India directly, abroad through Bollant Foods and in North America under EarthCleanse.
Bollant is the parent of three companies. Bollant Industries runs the recycling paper mills and the manufacturing units, Bollant Foods exports foodservice ware, and EarthCleanse sells compostable tableware and cleaning products online in the USA.

Six stages, from recovered paper arriving at a mill to finished products leaving a converting unit.
Recovered paper and board arrive from collection partners and are graded by type before they reach the pulper.
Graded paper is hydro-pulped, screened and cleaned so contaminants leave before the fibre is refined.
Refined stock is formed on the wire, pressed and dried on automated, PLC-controlled paper machines.
The web is reeled, then slit and cut to the width, diameter or sheet size of the order.
Converting lines print, laminate, punch, wind and glue the paper into boxes, cores and tableware.
Output is checked against the agreed specification, then packed, documented and dispatched.
Buyers need the hundredth reel to behave like the first. Every order passes through these control points.
Operators check machine settings and output against the agreed specification.
Recovered paper is sorted by grade before pulping, because the feed decides how a sheet behaves on a customer’s line.
GSM, burst factor, dimensions, print and packing are confirmed in writing before an order is scheduled.
Paper machines run on automated, PLC-controlled lines, so settings are repeatable from one run to the next.
Finished goods are inspected against the agreed specification before they are packed.
Specification sheets, test results and declarations are shared for the product you buy, once confirmed for that product.
Certifications are published here only once the certificate holder, facility, scope and validity have been confirmed. Ask for the current documentation for the product you are buying.
Five groups of buyers, each with its own tolerances, documents and delivery patterns.

Businesses and capabilitiesRecovered paper goes into our own mills, and our own lines convert that paper, so one company answers for the material and the product.
What others discard becomes a graded, paid-for input.
Two paper mills, eight units and machinery we adapt in-house, with PLC-controlled paper machines.
Customers choose us because the product meets their specification.

All insights
GSM alone does not tell a supplier what you need. Burst factor, moisture, Cobb and reel geometry decide how paper runs on your line.
A core that crushes, ovalises or sheds fibre stops a line. Six dimensions and one strength figure prevent most of those failures.
The same plate can be compostable in one city and landfill in another. What to check before you print a claim on your own packaging.
A manufacturer. The paper grades come from Bollant’s own two mills, and converted products are made on Bollant lines from that paper.
It means work at Bollant is designed so people of every ability can do it, to the same output standard.
Existing plants already have land, buildings, permissions and trained people nearby. Bollant assesses them, re-engineers the lines and connects them to raw material and buyers.
People of every ability. Stations are designed so a task can be done by touch, sight or sound, and the same output standard applies to everyone.
Recycled paper and board, industrial paper products such as cores and cones, corrugated and printed packaging, paper tableware, areca and sal leaf tableware, inks, adhesives and laminating films, and a small home and professional care range.
The head office is in Somajiguda, Hyderabad, and the manufacturing units are in Telangana and Karnataka.
