Arjowiggins Graphic is investing 1.5 million Euros (about £1.2 million) to enhance the deinking process and improve productivity at its Greenfield pulp mill.
Located at Chateau Thierry, east of Paris, Greenfield specialises in the production of recycled bright white, Eco label certified and 100% FSC certified de-inked pulp – said to be the only manufacturing site of its kind in Europe.
The year long investment project will increase the mill’s capacity by 25,000 tonnes, reaching 150,000 tonnes by the end of 2012. The company said this investment is in response to growing demand for premium recycled pulps and recycled paper brands. These include its Cocoon 100% recycled, FSC recycled certified, Cocoon 50% recycled, FSC mix certified, Maine Gloss Green and Satimat Green 75% recycled FSC mix certified. The first phase of the work began in January and the increased production is expected to commence at the end of June.
The company claims its Cocoon paper is whiter than other 100% recycled papers. This is due to the recycling and cleaning processes at Greenfield, which uses biodegradable cleaners and chlorine-free bleaches. The result is an eco-friendly paper with a whiteness of 150 CIE (produced for Cocoon Offset ) and 124 CIE (for Cocoon, Maine Gloss Green and Satimat Green coated papers).
Cocoon is exclusively distributed by Antalis McNaughton and Satimat Green and Maine gloss green are exclusively distributed by Elliott Baxter.
