The South African pulp and paper group, Sappi Ltd., was founded in 1936 and is today the world’s largest producer of coated wood-free papers. The Enstra Mill, founded in 1938 at Springs near Johannesburg, was Sappi’s - and the country’s - first. Wheat straw was used as raw material at first, which explains the name of the mill (ENterprise STRAw). It was at the Enstra Mill that Sappi, at the end of the 1960s, developed its pioneering Sapoxal oxygen bleaching process, and the mill was the first to produce elemental chlorine-free pulp (ECF) using this process.
