Description
This process involves collecting waste kraft paper and waste cardboard by material type, followed by cleaning, screening, shredding, and mixing with water to produce pulp. The pulp is further processed into adhesive powder for bonding cardboard. The pulp is applied onto rollers and pressed with rigid cardboard to form fluting, resulting in corrugated cardboard. Recycled corrugated cardboard products are then produced through processes such as die-cutting or laser cutting.
The recycling process relies on electricity to power shredding and pressing equipment. The manufacturing process requires inputs of fresh water and steam. Wastewater is generated during production, along with emissions of plastic and metal waste, slag, sludge, and general solid waste. This dataset is applicable to the process of producing recycled corrugated cardboard from waste kraft paper and waste cardboard boxes.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of producing recycled corrugated cardboard from waste kraft paper and waste cartons, which are sorted, soaked to remove impurities, then crushed and pulped. It includes data on energy and material consumption during production, solid waste generation, and water emissions.
Process Description
After shredding and cleaning waste kraft paper and waste cartons, the waste paper is pulped and molded to produce recycled corrugated board.
