Graphic printed products

all kind of printed graphic products on white paper grades

Deinkability

Removal of ink and/or toner from a printed product to a high extent by means of a deinking process. This shall restore as good as possible the optical properties of the unprinted product

Written publication containing news, information and advertising, usually printed on Newsprint paper. Including Inserts, Flyers and Brochures printed on similar paper grades as Newsprint (Ash content less than 22%)

Magazines

Publications which are generally published on a regular schedule, printed on coated or uncoated paper grades. Including Inserts, Flyers and Brochures printed on similar paper grades (Ash content higher than 22%)

Luminosity Y

Optical reflectance parameter for the evaluation of the white level of papers, measured according DIN 6174 and Ingede Method 2

Dirt Specks

Dirt visible particles, mainly residual ink particles, measured by a scanner based image analysis system, according to Ingede Method 2

A50

Dirt particle area for particles larger than 50 µm (circle equivalent diameter)

A250

Dirt particle area for particles larger than 250 µm (circle equivalent diameter)

Packaging paper products

All kind of paper based materials employed to contain, handle, protect and/or transport a product or an article

Recyclability

Design, manufacturing and converting of paper‐ and board‐based products in such a way as to enable a high quality recycling of fibres and minerals in a manufacturing process in compliance – where appropriate – with current standards

EcoPaperLoop Method 1

Recyclability Test for Packaging Products

Corrugated Boxes

Recyclability Test for Packaging Products

EcoPaperLoop Method 1

Any paper based container which is made of corrugated board such as boxes and shipping containers, including also displays and furniture

Folding Cartons

Any paper based container which is made of solid board such as boxes, disregarding whether the base material is uncoated, coated or laminated

Coarse Rejects

Non-paper product materials and difficult to disintegrate materials separated from the pulp during the coarse screening process in a paper mill

Macro-Stickies

Tacky components originating from paper for recycling which can be analysed from the residues of a laboratory screening

Recycling parameters

Test parameters measured in the Laboratory test methods for the evaluation of deinkability or recyclability of paper products

Carbon Footprint

the amount of greenhouse gases and specifically carbon dioxide emitted by something (as a person's activities or a product's manufacture and transport) during a given period

Sustainability

The use of resources without jeopardizing the ability of future generation to do so as well - in other words ensuring that today's growth does not jeopardize the growth possibilities of future generations.
Sustainable development comprises of three elements - economic, social and environmental - which have to be considered in equal measure at the political level.
The strategy for sustainable development, adopted in 2001 and amended in 2005, is complemented inter alia by the principle of integrating environmental concerns with European policies which impact on the environment
