Sustainability with Return on Investment, Paper360º January/February 2025

Paper, board, pulp, and tissue manufacturers are faced with the challenge of reducing their production costs while producing in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner. But is it possible to conserve resources and the environment while reducing production costs?

Yes. The IBS Group has been helping customers achieve these targets for decades. Based on countless successful projects to optimize board, pulp, tissue, and paper machines as well as current developments in the areas of environment, energy, and resources, the company has identified seven sustainability targets for paper producers and prioritized them based on a typical production cost structure for containerboard in Central Europe. In this article, IBS has outlined the most effective measures for each target—measures that show both ecological benefits and a return on investment of three to 12 months. They illustrate that even small investments can bring considerable savings.
