Roll Covers from Recyclable and Renewable Raw Materials

摘要

Roll covers used in paper, board, tissue and pulp making need periodical renewal and thus consume tonnes of material resources. A major part of the raw materials used in roll covers-polymers, resins and other industrial chemicals-has traditionally been manufactured from fossil-based raw materials, and refined and processed from crude oil. The manufacturing methods for these raw materials may also have been energy consuming. Old roll covers have ended up in landfill or as energy waste.
