Pulp Paper & Logistics
COMMENT W
elcome to this first issue of Pulp Paper & Logistics for 2020, and to the new decade. One highlight of this issue is the increasing number of reports of paper makers stepping up
their game with recyclable replacements for single-use plastics packaging.
Fibre-based materials that fit into a circular economy are
increasingly being offered by our industry, with many devoting more of their budgets to research and development into more sustainable and recyclable products.
Consumers are acutely aware in their everyday lives of the benefits of paper-based packaging as more goes into the recycling bag rather than the plastics that end up as general waste. In turn this could mean less plastic ending up in landfill, or the oceans.
But these new ideas don’t appear overnight and the demands of consumers must be addressed with smart design, added value and of course meeting the appropriate packaging standards.
This drive to reduce the use of single-use plastics is also being
addressed by major retailers and fast-food outlets moving over to specialist packaging papers, board and corrugated products, the key word recyclability. This can only be good for our industry.
Looking forward to the March-April issue of Pulp Paper & Logistics we will be focusing on machine clothing (including rolls, wires, felts), recycled-fibre processing and dissolving pulping technology. Moving raw materials and paper products around more sustainably is a key issue, so contributions on this subject within logistics will also be welcome.
