Spanish term or phrase: papelera
What is the meaning of the word 'papelera' here. I know it can mean paper mill, waste paper basket but obviously it is neither of those, and it can't be just 'paper' as they mention that in 'papeles'. All help appreciated.

...la producción y venta de pasta mecánica y papeles de todas clases, la producción y venta de **pastas químicas blanqueadas solubles y papeleras y lejías concentradas, la producción y venta de fibras artificiales y sintéti¬cas, la producción y venta de sulfato sódico y carboximetil¬celulosa.
