In paper mills, pulp waste represents a significant challenge in terms of production efficiency and environmental sustainability.
This material, composed of short fibers and other non-recyclable residues in the paper production process, represents approximately 3-5% of incoming waste.
Its management therefore requires innovative and reliable solutions.
Problems related to pulp waste
Pulper waste can generate various problems:
- Reduced production efficiency: Excess material can create obstacles and slow down the production process.
- Increased costs: Landfilling or incineration causes significant costs for paper mills.
- Environmental impact: non-optimal management of pulper waste can cause soil and water pollution.
