Making the most of recycling processes

Generate Value...

The dual nature of recycling – which contributes to both the economy and waste management – supposes that recycling processes must work well. Regulations requiring that waste should be reused, primarily through recycling, call for large-scale treatment and recycling facilities to be created and available in order to ensure that the systems introduced are permanent and safe.

The CTP’s “Recycled Fibres” pilot, which is a genuine research and production facility, can simulate all types of recycling chain:

• A new raw material? Having its paper-making potential and recyclability checked can avoid some nasty surprises!
  
• A new investment? Having your choice validated at semi-industrial scale by testing its performance in real conditions will guarantee a return on investment!
  
• Hesitating over new technological solutions? Finding the most efficient chain that is most suited to the product you want to manufacture is a chance to become more competitive!
  
• Is your output too low or your pulp not clean enough? Testing new operating conditions to boost your process means getting the most out of your equipment.

Context and performance

The CTP makes its “Recycled Fibres” pilot installation available in order to:

• optimise your existing process by determining the best conditions for making the most of the raw material you use and the pulp you make, depending on the products to be made on the paper machine;
  
• test new technological solutions (micro-screening, flotation, scrubbing, etc.) to develop the mechanical and/or optical characteristics of the pulps produced.

Tests can be performed at the CTP or directly on your production site using modular elements of the pilot that can be installed in parallel on your own production chain.
