Paper and cardboard waste

Better separation and higher output value

Since paper and its derivatives represent a valuable raw material, reprocessing of waste paper for reuse stays on the global recycling agenda as one of the main tasks. Various sorts of waste paper comprise wrapping and packaging paper and (corrugated) cardboard, (shredded) office paper as well as discarded paper materials like old newspapers and magazines. To process those materials efficiently, a high precision and the best separation performance are crucial.

The specific purpose of a waste paper installation is to separate, sort and process printed paper and cardboard from an input stream of mixed paper. The output of this sorting process is then baled and shipped for reuse. Efficient separation is key to a higher value output, thereby increasing the quality of the end product.

Bollegraaf puts the highest quality of the end product at the very essence while designing our paper and cardboard processing equipment. At Bollegraaf we build and provide high-end turnkey installations that combine a range of effective separation technologies that will improve the quality of the output and its intrinsic value what will substantially reduce de-inking costs for your clients. Therefore, we design to fit your facility’s needs and footprint, maximizing recovery and creating value out of this challenging inbound material.
