Safeda Plant Clones: Pillar of Environment-Friendly Paper Manufacturing
By Star Paper Mills Limited
At the center of India’s evolving paper industry, the Clones Safeda Plant has emerged as a green game-changer. With its rapid growth, high yield, and remarkable adaptability, this eucalyptus clone has revolutionized the raw material model for paper mills across the country. At Star Paper Mills Limited, we have always embraced advanced plantation methods such as Clones Safeda to build a sustainable, cost-effective supply chain.
With over eight decades of legacy in the paper industry, Star Paper Mills Limited stands as a benchmark of ethical growth and industrial innovation. Here's how the Clones Safeda Plant is shaping the future of paper manufacturing and how we are leading this green revolution—right from the grassroots.
What is the Clones Safeda Plant?
The Clones Safeda Plant refers to a hybrid variant of Eucalyptus, scientifically cultivated using cloning techniques. These plants are genetically superior—rich in cellulose, uniform in growth, disease-resistant, and ideal for high-quality pulp and paper production.
Unlike traditional eucalyptus varieties, Clones Safeda matures faster, requires less water, and grows uniformly. Due to its commercial and ecological benefits, it has gained immense popularity in regions like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana.
Why Clones Safeda is Key in the Paper Industry
One of the biggest challenges in paper manufacturing is the sustainable availability of raw material. That’s where Clones Safeda offers a transformative solution for responsible, renewable forestry.
1. Short Rotation, High Yield
Clones Safeda matures in just 4–5 years, compared to 8–10 years for traditional trees. This shorter rotation dramatically boosts paper production efficiency.
2. Uniform Fiber Quality
Its even growth leads to consistent fiber strength and texture, essential for premium industrial paper, writing paper, envelope paper, and packaging.

3. Low Water Requirement
Despite its rapid growth, Clones Safeda consumes minimal water, making it ideal for drought-prone or low-irrigation zones.
4. Environmental Benefits
It supports carbon sequestration, improves soil health, and contributes to climate resilience—all essential goals in modern sustainable manufacturing.
