How to Optimize Waste Management in the Tissue Converting Process, Tissue360º Fall/Winter 2023

Efficiency and waste reduction are crucial aspects of the tissue and paper-converting industry. While waste is an inevitable part of the converting process, there are various strategies and technologies that can be employed to minimize waste and optimize operations. In this article, we will explore the importance of waste optimization, the obstacles faced in the industry, and the opportunities for improvement through automation. By implementing effective waste automation techniques, paper converters can enhance productivity, reduce costs, and improve overall sustainability.

MINIMIZING WASTE: A NECESSARY EVIL
When converting paper products, the focus is primarily on maximizing production throughput and minimizing waste. However, it is essential to recognize that waste is an inherent part of the process. No matter how well waste is minimized, the more production that takes place, the more waste is generated. Often, the waste stream needs to be noticed amidst the optimization efforts in the facility. To address this issue, it is crucial to find ways to optimize without compromising production efficiency.
