Customer preferrences continue to drive the need for softer and stronger tissue products.
In this environment, every dollar counts, including what you spend on energy and increased chemical usage.
What percentage of consumers report actively buying more environmentally-friendly products than they did five years ago?
Sorry!
TRY AGAIN.
You Are Correct!
What’s more, 81% say they expect to buy even more environmentally-friendly products over the next five years.
Sorry!
TRY AGAIN.
The conventional thinking is that a stronger and softer product requires a return to the methods used by the flat sheet industry, such as refining and dry strength resins (DSR), which have their own cost implications.
WHAT ARE THE COST IMPLICATIONS?
WHAT ARE THE COST IMPLICATIONS?
- Refining increases your energy consumption, and it creates fines.
- These fines lead to reduced bulk, absorbency and dust, and they can cause fires.
- DSR hurts quality with increased stiffness.
- Using DSR also adds complexity for your operators in managing the wet end.
All strength is not created equal. The methods above result in added costs, negative product quality implications, and operational complexity. Tissue makers need a better way to meet demands for strength and softness.
To get there, you must overcome four main challenges:
Which challenge shown below is most pressing for your mill?
USING TOO MUCH REFINING HAS UNINTENDED AND NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES
USING DSR HAS COSTLY IMPLICATIONS
TISSUE MANUFACTURERS ARE UNDER INCREASING PRESSURE TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
