Recycling volumes of waste paper will be increased in North America. To achieve this, it is planned to update and even build new recycling plants where various types of used paper will be processed, including old corrugated containers. A total of 25 projects were planned in this area. And 23 projects have already come to full completion. The number of enterprises included in the list was 117.
It was planned to update production facilities, which would allow, for example, the production of packaging from recycled waste paper. In addition, the plans also include an increase in export volumes of recycled paper waste. Also one of the projects was a plant that will be able to handle food-contaminated paper raw materials coming from commercial sources.
The update applies to paper mills that produce new paper products. It is planned to equip these factories with equipment that will process waste paper and the processed product will be immediately used for the manufacture of new products. But not all factories will be able to work with different types of waste paper. Therefore, it was decided to install equipment that allows us to obtain what the paper mill will use in its production activities in the future. In terms of numbers, the 25 completed projects will be able to handle more than 8 million tons of the same used cardboard per year.
