STORA ENSO’S PAPER SORTING LINES OF THE FUTURE
Stora Enso develops and produces solutions based on wood and biomass for a range of industries and applications worldwide, leading in the bioeconomy and supporting their customers in meeting demand for renewable eco-friendly products.
Stora Enso is committed to the development of products and technologies based on renewable materials. Their products, in many cases, provide a low-carbon alternative to products made from fossil-based or other non-renewable materials.
“Bollegraaf managed to quickly react to the challenges and they instituted the necessary changes to reach the tight deadline”
Wim Schauvliege, Project Engineer of Stora Enso’s paper division, talks with the Bollegraaf team about Stora Enso’s experience with Bollegraaf and takes us into Stora Enso’s reasons for choosing Bollegraaf as their solution supplier.
“In Ghent we produce PfR (paper for recycling) as a raw material for our low carbon circular products. We receive unsorted paper stream (mainly based on used newsprint and magazine paper) that is contaminated by cardboard.”
“There are multiple challenges we face. One of the challenges is that cardboard is more and more resembling paper in its properties. […] The rise in e-commerce and delivery at home has led to a great increase in cardboard packaging, while at the same time we see the effects of digitalization through a decrease in traditional physical media, such as magazines, newspapers and letters.”
“We really enjoyed the cooperation with the Bollegraaf engineering and project management team. They were able to think along with us and provide us with the best technologies for our specific requirements. For us Bollegraaf provided the best solution.”
