Renewcell has successfully produced its first fiber material with the ADuro textile fiber preparation system from ANDRITZ at its new site in Sundsvall, Sweden. Renewcell applies the process to produce pure dissolving pulp from 100% textile waste. The product is finally transformed by Renewcell’s customers into new garments for the circular clothing industry. The plant in Sundsvall recently reached its Commercial Operation Date (COD) on October 31, 2022.

• ANDRITZ technology contributes to circular fashion with key solutions for production of pulp made from 100% textile waste
• ANDRITZ textile fiber preparation system lays the foundation for a pioneering recycling process developed by Renewcell

ANDRITZ installed a complete textile fiber preparation system based on shredding and separation technology. Shredders of the ADuro product line form the technological centerpiece of the system and shred used textiles in only one step, enabling a throughput of up to 60,000 tons of textile waste per year. In the subsequent separation stages, impurities such as buttons and zippers are removed from the shredded textiles.

Since 2016, Renewcell and ANDRITZ have been working together on the development of Renewcell’s textile recycling process at its test plant in Kristinehamn, Sweden, and now also on their first commercial textile recycling plant in Sundsvall.

Renewcell was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2012 and specializes in recycling textiles with the vision of making fashion circular. Its recycling technology transforms used cotton and other cellulose fibers into a new raw material called Circulose^® pulp. The pulp is used to produce high-quality biodegradable viscose or lyocell textile fibers for the fashion industry.

ANDRITZ focuses on sustainable and state-of-the-art recycling solutions for pre- and post-consumer textile waste usage and collaborates with internationally renowned partners. ANDRITZ has always been a pioneer in providing industrially and economically viable solutions that bring the circular economy to the world of textile fibers.

ANDRITZ Oy, part of international technology group ANDRITZ, and LUT University (Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT) launched an extensive collaboration in the field of fiber technology a year ago. As a result, a new state-of-the-art research laboratory for the joint development of sustainable fiber technologies will open at the LUT campus in Lahti on November 3, 2022. The unique corporate collaboration model is a substantial step towards a new way of sharing infrastructures and intensifying research work with external partners.

The new research laboratory and LUT's academic expertise bring added value to ANDRITZ’s own research and innovation. Collaboration with LUT strongly supports ANDRITZ’s development of highly efficient, sustainable products and technologies. In addition, ANDRITZ aims to strengthen its position as a pioneer in innovative technologies whilst supporting its position as one of the most attractive employers in the Finish fiber industry.

Kari Tuominen, President and CEO of ANDRITZ Oy, says: “Locating the research laboratory in Lahti will enable close collaboration between ANDRITZ and LUT researchers. Our cooperation has always been fruitful and effortless for both parties. We’re glad that LUT managed to build the laboratory nearly on schedule despite the logistical challenges related to the global situation.”

“The brand-new laboratory enables us to study, test and analyse on biomass-based fibres and fibre products even better than before. The new facilities will meet the needs of LUT research groups, ANDRITZ and regional industry,” adds Mari Kallioinen-Mänttäri, LUT University Dean.

As a result of the collaboration, a modern research laboratory meeting the highest industry standards will be opened on the LUT campus in Lahti, Finland. Photo: Andritz

The aim is to strengthen the bioeconomy cluster in the Lahti area and support the start-up and growth of new businesses. Biorefinery research currently employs four professors and ten researchers on the Lahti campus. LUT aims to increase the overall number to 40 in the near future.

Mari Kallioinen-Mänttäri points out that such a large-scale investment would not have been possible without considerable financial support by the university’s partners.

“Collaboration with ANDRITZ constitutes one of the largest business commissions in LUT’s history. In addition to current joint research, we are exploring possibilities to expand our collaboration beyond fiber research. For students, it will mean more thesis and job opportunities,” says Mari Kallioinen-Mänttäri.

International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from Steinbeis Papier GmbH to supply a complete stock preparation line for conventional wastepaper and special grades, featuring a capacity from 78 to 200 t/d, for its mill in Glückstadt, Germany.

Start-up is planned for the end of the first quarter of 2023.

The new line will process various types of raw material, such as wet-strength and coated paper grades, labels with high wet strength, wet beer-bottle labels, and plastic-laminated wastepaper. In close collaboration with the customer, ANDRITZ has developed a comprehensive and particularly flexible technological solution that can be adapted to suit the different raw material requirements in terms of pulping and reject content. The scope of supply comprises the entire key equipment – from pulper feeding to fine screening – as well as basic engineering, supervision of installation, and start-up.

Andreas Rauscher, CEO of Steinbeis Papier GmbH, says: “With its products, Steinbeis Papier focuses on the principles of a resource-saving, circular economy. The latest product – called Steinbeis Label, a wet-strength and alkali-resistant label paper – brought about the idea of a new wastepaper processing line to create the preconditions for a closed-loop process in Glückstadt. Thus, wet-strength and alkali-resistant label paper can be recycled and used as the raw material for new label paper. The previously unused wastepaper volume that could not be processed using conventional methods and had to be incinerated can thus be made available to the recycling loop in future.”

Steinbeis Papier GmbH in Glückstadt is the European market leader for graphic recycled papers made from 100% wastepaper. The product range comprises printing and copy paper, coated offset paper, as well as paper for digital printing and label paper. Steinbeis Papier GmbH is part of Steinbeis Holding, which unites various companies from ecological paper production, the circular economy, and environmentally friendly energy production under one roof.

Talk, listen, debate with our expert Carlos Gallo, Director Tissue Technology and R&D, at Tissue World Talks in the online panel discussion on the future direction of the tissue market.

• Challenges for tissue manufacturers are rising substantially
• How can machine suppliers like ANDRITZ help to mitigates these challenges?
• Is sustainability at risk?

Tissue World Talks – the online panel discussion on November 3, 2022

Interrupted supply chains, the threat of discontinued gas supply in several countries, and peak values for main cost components like fiber, gas and electricity - the challenges for operating tissue mills - not only, but especially in Europe – are becoming ever greater. Demand for tissue is expected to remain strong, but how can tissue manufacturers cope with these challenges when the pressure is coming from so many directions? How can tissue machine suppliers help to mitigate these challenges? Is now the time to pro-actively invest in new machines? What about sustainability?

It’s time to talk about implications and potential consequences, but also about possible solutions. Carlos Gallo, together with key industry leaders and you in the audience, will discuss the best way forward during Tissue World’s virtual panel discussion on November 3, 2022 at 11 AM CET (Central European Time).
