Go green and reduce your carbon footprint
01
Recycled Fiber Sourcing and Procurement
We establish secure supply chains through developing relationships with waste management companies and businesses generating significant cardboard waste. This ensures a steady supply of raw materials so that we can serve our customers timeously.
02
Quality Grading and Sorting
Incoming recycled materials undergo rigorous sorting and grading. Different grades of cardboard (corrugated, boxboard, etc.) have varying characteristics and fiber quality affecting the final product.
03
Contaminant Removal
Our robust systems efficiently remove non-paper items such as plastics and staples, as well as potentially harmful contaminants that can affect paper quality and machinery.
04
De-Inking
Many cardboard materials have printed content. We employ a de-inking process, using mechanical methods, to remove inks and prevent discoloration of the final pulp.
05
Pulping & Pulp Refining
Recycled fibers are broken down into a pulp through mechanical agitation. The process aims to recover usable fibers while minimizing damage.
Our refiners further process the pulp, adjusting fiber length and grammage to suit the targeted cardboard specifications.
06
Sheet Formation
The refined pulp is spread onto a forming machine, where water is drained and a continuous sheet of wet paperboard is created.
07
Pressing & Drying
The wet sheet goes through a series of presses and heated rollers to remove moisture and compact the fibers, increasing strength and density.
08
Finishing, Cutting & Conversion
Smoothing the surface, improving water resistance, and coating (if needed for specific applications) is done at this stage.
The finished cardboard is cut into standard or custom-sized rolls for distribution.
Quality Testing and Certification: We carry out in-house testing to ensure cardboard products meet industry standards and client specifications.
The mill can also assist clients in optimizing their waste management, reducing landfill contributions, and maximizing the efficiency of their cardboard waste stream.
