A Green Technology Grows Greener—Paper Manufacturer Introduces Two New Recycled Paper Lines that Reduce Use of Harsh De-inking Chemicals

摘要

Since 1968, a company based just outside Chicago, in the town of Alsip, IL, has set its sights on creating high quality recycled paper for newspaper, magazine, and catalog use. The FutureMark~R Paper Company, which holds the distinction of being the only North American manufacturer capable of making up to 100% recycled coated paper for magazines and catalogs, has continuously sought to improve not only the quality of the papers, but the "de-inking processes" that creates them. On October 19, the company announced its latest step forward as it introduced two new products, "made with an innovative 'Green Clean' process that delivers world-class brightness ratings for high-recycled paper while greatly reducing the use of harsh chemicals traditionally used in paper production."
