RECYCLED KRAFT PAPER:

The sustainable alternative for industrial packaging

Bobines papier recyclé.png

Recycled paper is manufactured from at least 50% recycled paper fibres recovered from post-consumer and industrial waste streams. Predominantly composed of short fibres, its technical properties can be enhanced through the addition of long fibres when higher performance is required. 

 

Several grades are available including Interkraft, Similikraft, Testliner I, Testliner II, Testliner III etc. making recycled kraft paper suitable for a broad range of applications such as cushioning, packaging, protection, graphic arts and industrial uses.

 

Offering an excellent balance between performance and sustainability, recycled kraft paper requires less virgin fibre, water and energy during production compared with paper made exclusively from virgin wood fibres.

 

It is also biodegradable, compostable and cost-effective, while maintaining the strength and versatility needed for many professional and industrial applications.

Test liner I, II, III
The term "liner" refers to the outer facing paper used in corrugated board, while "testliner" denotes a recycled linerboard grade defined by its technical performance characteristics.

Grades I, II and III indicate the quality level of the recycled fibres used, with Grade I representing the highest quality. Depending on the application, Testliner can provide a cost-effective alternative to certain virgin-fibre kraft linerboards.

It offers good burst strength and excellent printability, making it a reliable choice for corrugated packaging applications.
