Paper industry

A guaranteed outlet for your paper sludge and rejects

For three decades, we have turned paper sludge and rejects into alternative fuels and raw materials.

How it works

01
One partner for sludge, rejects and tails.
We handle all three main waste streams from paper-making.
02
With three decades of experience, we know how paper waste properties affect each outlet.
We know which outlet fits your sludge, rejects or tails.
03
Paper rejects fuel waste-to-energy boilers or are upgraded to SRF, and paper sludge becomes fuel or raw material.
We guarantee off-take, independent of seasonal influences or changes in the waste market.

Every tonne you replace is CO₂ you don’t emit.

We handle sourcing, quality control, permits and daily logistics by truck, rail or sea, so you can focus on your process.

How we keep to that specification

01

Grip on the source

We source from several countries, so you never depend on one stream.
02

Our own sorting

Our own MRFs in the UK and the Netherlands sort the waste we work with.
03

Thirty years of measurement data

Three decades of data on how waste quality affects process parameters.

Doesn't fit? Then we make it fit.

Does your process need something different? We develop bespoke fuels with you, based on both the physical feeding requirements and the chemical product and emission requirements of your process.
Shape
Pellets, powder or loose fuel
Size
Particle size matched to your burner or mill
Composition
