Proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Manila, Philippines, March 7-9, 2023 5. Conclusion Through the bibliometric analysis and study of the articles covered by the bibliometric collection, the state of the literary discourse and discussions on environmental impact of paper and pulp industry was discussed. The discussions on the issues of sustainability pertaining to the paper and pulp industry, in the academic world, were studied through the journal-wise and article-wise analysis using bibliometric tool. Further, various challenges for sustainable business practices in the paper and pulp industry, identified from the bibliometric collection were discussed. On the basis of the research outcome, few suggestions of improvement were proposed. From this paper, it is evident that paper and pulp businesses all throughout had major environmental and societal concerns and threats which are ingrained in their business models. However, with rising awareness and concerns not just amongst the society at large, but also amongst the customers and the organisations themselves, several measures to mitigate the adverse effects resulting from the business models of paper and pulp industries are being adopted. Yet, achieving a completely sustainable and environment friendly model of paper making is a far cry. And so, further discussions, propositions and actions, as proposed above, are desired to make the paper making business a net resource contributor to the society from a net resource consumer as per the present time.
