Pulp, Recycled

The challenge

While recycling paper products is a wonderful way for consumers to assist in the re-use of natural resources, the processing of recycled fibers puts new demands on papermakers. Some of the key challenges are how to handle the varying quality of incoming materials, how to remove contaminants (glues, metals, inks, etc.) before the papermaking process, and how to increase the yield of recycled fiber production to make it economically beneficial.
