Reproservice Chalmers, Göteborg, Sweden 2014 II III Acknowledgements We would like to dedicate this section to everyone involved in our master thesis work, and thank everyone for making our work possible. First of all we would like to thank our su- pervisor and examiner Lars-Ola Bligård who has guided us and provided assistance throughout our development work. We would also like to devote a special thanks to Elisabeth Östlin at Iggesund Paperboard AB who has given us all ne- cessary feedback to enable the development of the assisting tool. In addition, we would like to thank Carlo Einarsson who initiated our collaboration with Iggesund Paperboard AB, and provided the scope of this project. We would also like to thank Lars Engström at Iggesund Paperboard AB for his technical support during our work. Further, we would like to thank Michael Meier who helped us to distribute our ques- tionnaire to several operators within advertising agencies. Last but not least, we would like to thank all participants in the empirical studies working in the graphical and packa- ging industry, without their support our development work would not have been possible. IV V Abstract The difference between fine paper and paperboard may at a first glance appear trivial. Unfortunately, if the properties of each material are not accurately defined and understood valuable resources, such as material,- time and cost, can be wasted. Hence, this project, performed in collaboration with Iggesund Paperboard AB, aims to spread knowledge about the difference between fine paper and paperboard, and create an aware ness about how to make, and the importance of, a conscious material decision for fine paper and paperboard applications, among operators in the graphical and packaging industry. - - A conscious material decision implies a decision that is based on holistic knowledge about the fine pa per and paperboard application development process, including the properties of fine paper and paperbo- ard. During such a decision, important factors (e.g. durability, runnability, and environmental impact) that contribute to an optimal material for a specific application, and the comprehensive consequences of app lying the material, are taken into account. Thereby, this decision results in an understanding of how to use minimum resources and gain maximum quality when developing a fine paper or paperboard application. - The chosen approach is to identify the current material decision procedure, and which factors and desired properties that are, and should be, considered for fine paper or paperboard applications in order to optimi se the application throughout the development. This has been performed by conducting several theoretical and empirical studies, where the investigated operators are found in the graphical and packaging industry. Although, the primary focus during this project has been directed towards the operators within advertising agencies, as they are the weakest link in terms of lacking knowledge about the investigated manner. Also, they are the ones interacting with the entire graphical and packaging chain, including the customers of fine paper and paperboard applications. Thereby, the knowledge to perform a conscious material decision, throughout the graphical and packaging chain, could be provided by the transfer of knowledge from the operators within advertising agencies. - The goal is to optimise the material decision procedure by providing needed knowledge, to enable a consci ous material decision, in a product. This product is supposed to serve as assistance for the primary users, i.e. operators within advertising agencies, when deciding material for fine paper and paperboard applications. In doing so, the operator will obtain enough knowledge to make conscious material decisions. Thereby, reduced time, cost and environmental impact can be obtained, together with an increased quality of the produced application. The development process, of a product concept that provides a solution to the current lack of knowledge, resulted in a book that serves as an assisting tool for (primarily) operators within advertising agencies- during material decision for fine paper and paperboard applications. Further, the tool acts as a link between the operators within advertising agencies, and the already existing information, i.e. fills the gap of knowled ge in-between these two knowledge holders. This is performed by the assisting tool through the included fundamental knowledge about the fine paper and paperboard application development process, and the fostering of planning and communication. - Keywords: Fine paper, Paperboard, Assisting tool for material decision, New product development, User-cen tered design, Material decision book, Advertising agencies, Fine paper and paperboard applications.

  • 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).
