Award for New-Indie
Box-maker New-Indie in Ontario has won a 2021 Sustainability Award from the American Forest and Paper Association. The company was awarded the Leadership in Sustainability – Paper Recovery for Recycling.
According to AFPA, New-Indy improved its repulling system at its mill by adding more screening and “de-trashing” capability. The new equipment meant a higher fiber yield and the ability to consume mixed paper in all products “without sacrificing quality”.
In addition to the cost savings of raw materials, New-Indy’s waste stream was also reduced. The new fiber recovery system resulted in 5,500 tonnes less waste from the mill. In addition, 10,000 tonnes of mixed paper with no outlets was processed by the mill and removed from the landfill.
