Conserving resources - breaking new ground with grass fibers

Within the diverse supply chains, there are converging views on the need to look at the raw materials used and their consumption. In particular, the reduction of the use of non-renewable resources is of increasing concern to all stakeholders. Therefore, in the production of packaging or packaging materials, the issues of resource conservation and the use of rapidly renewable and abundantly available raw materials are currently much discussed topics. The use of grass fibers as an additive to recycled waste paper for the production of corrugated base papers is a good alternative.

If widely available grass fibers are added to the recovered paper, the result is a material that is both visually and technically convincing. As tests have shown, it is ideally suited for the production of corrugated board. The surface of the paper has a special character and is reminiscent of a subtle hay shimmer. These properties can be ideally incorporated into ecologically oriented print designs. The papers produced proportionally with grass fibers are already available in various basis weights, which are based on the technological requirements of testliner grades. The Panther Group is closely following the experience currently being gained with these developments and is available to advise interested customers.
