A delegation from Pak Brunei Investment Company Limited (PBICL), led by CEO & Managing Director Mr. S M Aamir Shamim, accompanied by Mr. Mohammad Moosa, Head of SME & Agro Division, and Mr. Muhammad Shahid, Unit Head SME Central, recently visited M/s Zafarsons Pulp Paper & Board Mills (Pvt.) Limited (ZPPBM) in Sheikhupura, Punjab. This engagement provided a look into the innovative and sustainable practices led by ZPPBM’s Mr. Zafar Shah.

Mr. Zafar Shah’s commitment to sustainability is transforming the paper manufacturing industry. His expertise in recycling waste into innovative paper products is remarkable, setting new standards in green energy and waste management. Through advanced waste management practices, ZPPBM is achieving both environmental benefits and business growth.

At ZPPBM, sustainability is more than a goal; it is the foundation of their operations. A key highlight is their use of rice husk, a by-product of rice production, as biomass fuel to generate steam for manufacturing processes. This not only reduces waste but also significantly cuts reliance on fossil fuels, helping to lower the company’s carbon footprint. Furthermore, ZPPBM repurposes other paper mill by-products for use within the paper industry, promoting a circular economy. This commitment to reusing and recycling waste materials is a model for others in the sector, positioning ZPPBM as a leader in sustainable practices.

Leading the Way in Green Energy and Waste Management

Under Mr. Shah’s leadership, ZPPBM is making remarkable strides in green energy. By transforming nearly all waste materials into reusable products, the company not only protects the environment but also sets a benchmark for scalable green initiatives in the paper industry. PBICL is proud to support businesses like ZPPBM that prioritize sustainability and innovation. Our financing of SMEs with green initiatives aligns with the vision set by the State Bank of Pakistan, promoting a more sustainable industrial landscape. We are excited to continue our support for Zafarsons Pulp Paper & Board Mills and similar enterprises that combine environmental impact with business success. Together, we can build a greener, more sustainable future.
