Tiivistelmä
Sustainable packaging made from renewable materials is a necessity to replace fossil-based materials. In the production of paperboard, a wide range of chemicals are used to ensure that paperboard is safe and more eco-friendly for intended use. This study examines paperboard chemicals usage and how to reduce emissions by using more sustainable or bio-based alternatives while maintaining cost, quality, safety and regulatory requirements.
This study aims to investigate and find the answers to research problems that aim to find more sustainable options for chemicals and replace fossil-based substances. The study focuses on Stora Enso's Ingerois Mill as a case company, and the primary data has been collected to explore and analyse the possibilities available. In addition, the deductive method is supported by secondary data from theory, which encompasses the mechanical efficiency and other raw materials of paperboard that are necessary to accomplish the research results.
Survey data presents numerous ways to lower emissions further for Tambrite and Tamfold and adapt bio-based chemicals with optimum dosage by combining other applications and improving process efficiency. The other findings further emphasize the challenges in technically adapting bio-based substances and signal areas that will necessitate further investigation. However, changes must be gradual to maintain safety and quality to meet customer requirements. Product safety, regulatory requirements, resilient supply-chain and cost of bio-based alternatives are also presented with specific constraints.
