Recycling

 View Track Schedule

The purpose of the Recycling track is to disseminate new developments in the recycling field with emphasis on recycling previous unusable raw materials along with focus on packaging compatibility & environmental sustainability.

Presentations will cover developments in recycling packaging papers in a circular economy, transforming pulper ropes into a valuable resource,  recycling paper-plastic laminate coffee cups, poly aluminum chloride in surface sizing for fluting packing grades, making packaging compatible with paper recycling, hydra pulper consistency control, how to detect dirt & shives & improved deinking flotation.

Participants will understand the latest developments in the recycling  processes, process enhancement that could be applicable to their manufacturing process, and solutions to a number of issues & materials that were previously believed unusable in their operations.   

Learning outcomes: After successfully completing the sessions in this track, the participants will be able to go back to their workplace and:

• Identify opportunities to optimize recycling and efficiently use all raw materials
• Address and develop solutions with an environmental sustainability in mind.
• Utilize technologies to address & remove containments from pulp streams.
• Use new technologies to optimize deinking & pulping operations.

Demonstration of learning outcomes: After attending the recycling  presentation sessions attendees will have a better understanding of how to implement:

• Mill trials of equipment designed to improve quality, production, or cost of a process.
• Process engineering changes based on learned information.
• Consultation with experts in the field that were connections made during the conference.
• Mill audits and operational changes to save cost and increase process performance.
• Improved mill environmental performance due to changes & new raw material streams once deemed unusable.
