Process

Our process, contained within a unit such as a cargo container, will be transported to the paper recycling plant or pulp & paper mill and “tacked onto” the waste stream. The advantages of using a self-contained facility are five-fold.

The figure below is an overview of the process within our self-contained facility:

Case Study: Pulp & Paper Mill

Pulp and paper are manufactured from raw materials containing cellulose fibres, typically wood, recycled paper, and agricultural residue. The pulping process itself is aimed at breaking down the bulk structure of the fibre source into the constituent fibres to be utilized for the production of new paper products. Unfortunately, there is a significant amount of solid by-product produced from this operation that is currently disposed of in landfills. This waste, generally referred to as "paper sludge" is also an attractive feedstock for the production of specialty chemicals.

Case Study: Paper Recycling Plant

Recycled paper processing plants use paper as their feedstock and recover fibre that can be used to produce new paper products. Paper cannot, however, be recycled endlessly. It is generally accepted that a fibre can be recycled six to seven times before it becomes too short to be utilized in new products. Actually, this unusable fibre accounts for 15-20% of the total paper fibres fed to the recycling plant and are considered waste. Paper recycling companies pay to have this waste product buried in a landfill or sent out as waste water. We can turn this waste into profit.
