The paper and pulp industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for sustainable products and an explosion in the need for cardboard and packaging products to service the thriving e-commerce sector, as well as the food industry.
Eco-friendly, plant-based, products to replace those made of single-use plastic are flooding the market, as consumers and manufacturers look for ways to be kinder to the planet.
Bamboo, as well as wood fibre, is increasingly used in place of plastic for everything from cutlery and dinnerware, to pens, cotton buds, toothbrushes, hairbrushes and drinking straws, while cardboard’s traditional uses, such as corrugated packaging and cartons, are being redefined to include product design for pens, iPhone cases, furniture, clocks, lamps – even cameras!
In addition, the shift towards energy-efficiency, cost effectiveness and process optimisation through digitalisation is driving paper and pulp manufacturers to integrate data-driven manufacturing technology into their equipment and process systems.
The specialist chemical and mineral industries occupy an important place in the 2,000-year-old papermaking and packaging story and continue to grow as factors such as recycling, quality, paper innovation and processing technology develop to meet the shift towards paper products that have minimal environmental impact. Despite a decline in the manufacture of some paper types, high quality paper and card continue to be important products for manufacturers, who expect to achieve consistently excellent quality from their processing equipment and raw materials.
