DS Smith and NER to Trial Waste Cellulose Materials in Paper Production

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): DS Smith has announced a partnership with Nafici Environmental Research (NER) to undertake a trial application of waste cellulose materials in paper production via the addition of pulp drawn from waste agricultural products, as well as from virgin and recovered fibres.  

This initiative is part of Smith’s ‘Now and Next’ sustainability strategy. 

As per the company’s research, leveraging these materials could reduce reliance on virgin fibres in the papermaking process by up to 10%. 

The trial, which will take place at Smith’s Kemsley Mill research and development (R&D) facility in Kent, England, UK, will utilise NER’s EcoPulping process.  

This process is designed to consume less water and energy than traditional pulping techniques while potentially enhancing the strength of the cardboard produced. 

Smith materials development director Nick Thompson said:: “DS Smith has built a reputation for being at the forefront of innovation in the recycling aspect of its operation, in part demonstrated by the investment into the R&D Fibre & Paper Development Lab (based at Kemsley Mill) and our ongoing partnership with Nafici.
