Pulp Paper & Logistics
COMMENT
W
elcome to the May-June issue of Pulp Paper
& Logistics. As consumers increasingly avoid
the use of plastics in packaging products, so
the major brands are providing a lead with
moves to more sustainable alternatives.
The pulp and paper industry is responding to these
demands and developing fibre-based alternatives, with
recent development including kitchen and toilet roll wrapping
thereby reducing the reliance on traditional flexible plastics.
The development of these alternatives by paper and
corrugated manufacturers presents its own challenges. These
may involve a change to the mill’s configuration and even
the purchase of new converting machinery. There is also the
need to ensure any new alternative will have comparable
performance. Strength, durability and print ability are also
key attributes that buyers and specifiers will be looking for if
they are to replace traditionally-used but difficult-to-recycle
options.
In general, and despite the costs, mill owners are continuing
to invest for the future and develop sustainable and
innovative products for the replacement of plastics within
many sectors, including food and beverage and personal
hygiene. At the same time, the mills are succeeding in cutting
carbon emissions and providing a lead for other industries.
For the next issue of Pulp Paper & Logistics for July-August,
we will be featuring machine clothing developments, mill
re-configuration for packaging grades, plus pumps, valves
and drives. Contributions for the issue should arrive no later
than 13 July as a Word document and supporting print ready
images.
