Orient Straw Board & Paper Mills Pulp Mill — Pakistan
Pulp & Paper Mill in Pakistan. Approximate location 24.85768, 67.00301.
Pulp & Paper MillPakistanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Orient Straw Board & Paper Mills Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Pakistan. Its listed capacity is 7,500 t of pulp & paper. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency. By capacity it ranks #9 among 9 pulp & paper mills in Pakistan. It emits about 4,053 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375625.

In context: how this facility compares
At 7,500 t of pulp & paper, Orient Straw Board & Paper Mills Pulp Mill is below the median pulp & paper mill in Pakistan (38,929 t of pulp & paper). Subsector: pulp-and-paper. As pulp & paper mill, it requires high process heat (typically 150–250°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Pulp and paper mills generate their own steam for the pulping process and paper dryers, running large-scale boiler systems where heat loss directly reduces efficiency.

Listed capacity (t of pulp & paper), Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0).
Local climate
Orient Straw Board & Paper Mills Pulp Mill sits in a hot desert climate zone (Köppen BWh), at 24.9°N in the northern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1238 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.95× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
