HEIDENHEIM, Germany , April 24, 2024-

Recycling is a central component of Voith Paper’s sustainability strategy and forms the basis for a sustainable paper industry. With this in mind, the company is stepping up its activities in the area of reutilization and recycling of press felts in order to conserve resources, reduce waste and cut CO2 emissions.

“Our goal is to keep materials in the cycle and thus make a contribution to environmental protection,” explains Dr Robert Eberhardt, Senior R&D Manager Press & Materials at Voith Paper. “By consistently implementing the EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD), we prioritize material recycling over energy recovery (incineration) and thus make an important contribution to promoting the circular economy. This is not only in line with European requirements but is also in the interests of our customers, especially those who are striving for continuous improvement measures as part of their sustainability strategy.”
