  • VNP Guideline LCA Data for Paper and Board in the Netherlands
    VNP Guidelines - LCA data for paper and board products It is of high importance that the data which isused from generic LCA databases (e.g. ecoinvent) are recent as well as representative for the kind of material used. Paper and board are complex materials that appear in different types suitable for the various applications. This document is set-up to assist LCA experts in finding the right data belonging to the type of paper and board studied. General advices: It is not advisable to use the data from European Life Cycle Database (ELCD) as these data are incomplete and also only ‘cradle to grave’: these are aggregated data hence difficult to identify where impacts come from and thus hardly usable for comparisons or to change for specific situations. Of all other generic databases ecoinvent is the most complete and current database. Other public datasets (e.g. GaBi, Base Impacts and ProBas) are less current and less easy to interpret from a user point of view. For LCA assessments on paper and board produced in the Netherlands it is essential to replace the input of the European average enery mix with input the Dutch energy mix. (NB this is not possible with ELCD as these allow no changes at all). Packaging paper Paper for corrugated board - Papier voor golfkarton Description Corrugated board (in Dutch: golfkarton) is the most commonly used transport packaging. Corrugated board consists of one or more layers of corrugated paper, in combination with one or more layers flat paper. The corrugated paper is called fluting or medium. The flat papers are called liners.

  • 8 Paper and Paperboard Packaging M.J
    8 Paper and Paperboard Packaging M.J. Kirwan 8.1 INTRODUCTION A wide range of paper and paperboard is used in packaging today – from lightweight infusible tissues for tea and coffee bags to heavy duty boards used in distribution. Paper and paperboard are found wherever products are produced, distributed, marketed and used, and account for about one-third of the total packaging market. Over 40% of all paper and paperboard consumption in Europe is used for packaging and over 50% of the paper and paperboard used for packaging is used by the food industry. One of the earliest references to the use of paper for packaging food products is a patent taken out by Charles Hildeyerd on 16 February 1665 for ‘The way and art of making blew paper used by sugar-bakers and others’ (Hills, 1988). The use of paper and paperboard for packaging purposes accelerated during the latter part of the nineteenth century to meet the needs of manufacturing industry. The manufacture of paper had progressed from a laborious manual operation, one sheet at a time, to continuous high speed production with wood pulp replacing rags as the main raw material. There were also developments in the techniques for printing and converting these materials into packaging containers. Today, examples of the use of paper and paperboard packaging for food can be found in many places, such as supermarkets, traditional markets and retail stores, mail order, fast food, dispensing machines, pharmacies, and in hospital, catering and leisure situations. Uses can be found in packaging all the main categories of food, such as: r dry food products – cereals, biscuits, bread and baked products, tea, coffee, sugar, flour, dry food mixes, etc r frozen foods, chilled foods and ice cream r liquid foods and beverages – juice drinks, milk and milk derived products r chocolate and sugar confectionery r fast foods r fresh produce – fruit, vegetables, meat and fish Packaging made from paper and paperboard is found at the point of sale (primary packs), in storage and for distribution (secondary packaging).

Flavour and taste changes in food products due to the transfer of undesirable volatile compounds from gravure printed cardboard packaging should be avoided. In this study, the influence of cellulose-based, folding boxboard (FBB) type cardboard coating on solvent retention was studied by gas chromatography (GC). FBB samples with 1-3 and no coating layers on the top side, and with coated or uncoated back side, were printed by rotogravure. Then, solvent retention was measured at 3 different time intervals. Ethanol and ethyl acetate contents were studied more in depth in order to obtain information on the emission behavior of alcohol and ester type solvents from the cellulose-based cardboard. Based on GC results, ethanol and ethyl acetate retention ratios were calculated and then normalized to coating thickness for every time interval, aiming to see the solvent retention differences as a function of the number of coating layers applied onto the cardboard surface. It was found that the number of coating layers on the cellulose-based cardboard top and back sides has a clear influence on solvent retention and emission on/from printed packaging.

  • Paper and Paperboard – Raw Materials, Processing and Properties
    1 Paper and paperboard – raw materials, processing and properties 1 2 Daven Chamberlain and Mark J. Kirwan 1 Paper Technology, Bury , Lancashire, UK 2 Paper and Paperboard Specialist, Fellow of the Packaging Society, London , UK 1.1 Introduction – quantities, pack types and uses Paper and paperboard are manufactured worldwide. The world output for the years quoted is shown in Table 1.1 . The trend has been upward for many years; indeed, worldwide pro- duction has more than doubled in just three decades. Both materials are produced in all regions of the world. The proportions produced per region in 2010 are shown in Table 1.2 . Paper and paperboard have many applications. These include newsprint, books, tissues, stationery, photography, money, stamps, general printing, etc. The remainder comprises packaging and many industrial applications, such as plasterboard base and printed impregnated papers for furniture. In 2010, paper and paperboard produced for packaging applications accounted for 51% of total paper and paperboard production (BIR, 2011). A single set of figures for world production of paper and paperboard hides a very significant change that has taken place in the last decade. A large amount of investment has poured into Asia, resulting in the creation of many new mills with large and fast machines. Consequently, the proportion of world production originating from Asia has increased by 10% since 2003; Europe and North America have been the casualties, and both regions have experienced significant numbers of mill closures during this period. As a result of the widespread uses of paper and paperboard, the apparent consumption of paper and paperboard per capita can be used as an economic barometer, i.e.

Ulla Häggblom-Ahnger Commissioned by Nordkalk Corp., Lic.tech. Lars Grönroos ABSTRACT In this work the use of fillers in paper and paperboards grades are examined. The idea was to get to know the concept of fillers and how to use more of them in papermaking. Replacing fibres with fillers is a major theme in this work. This work was done in order to familiarize the field of paper industry and its uses of fillers. Fillers are used in nearly every paper and paperboard grade. Filler use has increased during the last decades and continues to do so. Fillers bring special properties for paper products that could not be achieved in any other way. In the beginning of work, fillers and their properties were viewed. These fillers were ground calcium carbonate, kaolin, precipitated calcium carbonate, talc and titanium dioxide, the most common paper fillers. This is followed by the categorization of majority of paper and paperboard grades in the world. The furnish composition of these grades are analyzed and end uses of several grades were evaluated. Another target of this work was to find out about current paper and paperboard markets.
