Taxing chlorine-bleached paper

Description

Taxing chlorine-bleached paper involves imposing financial levies on paper products manufactured using chlorine-based bleaching processes. This strategy aims to discourage environmentally harmful production methods, reduce the release of toxic chlorinated compounds, and incentivize the adoption of cleaner, alternative bleaching technologies. By increasing the cost of chlorine-bleached paper, the tax encourages producers and consumers to shift towards more sustainable paper options, thereby mitigating pollution and protecting ecosystems and public health.
