Included activities starts

The system boundary of production activities starts from raw material preparation.

Included activities ends

The system boundary of production activities ends with the finished corrugating medium paper.

Description

Corrugating medium is one of the key constituent materials in the production of corrugated board. This dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, waterborne discharges, and waste generated during production; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and facility construction is excluded from the system boundary. The life cycle inventory data are derived from published literature. The manufacturing process of corrugating medium involves steps such as waste paper shredding, screening, purification, pulping, sand sedimentation, corrugating medium forming, and post-treatment.

Process Description

Corrugating medium is one of the key component materials used in the production of corrugated board. It requires good fiber bonding strength, a smooth surface, adequate bulk and stiffness, as well as a certain degree of elasticity to ensure that the manufactured cartons possess shock resistance and compressive strength.
