The Danish company Campen has developed a technology for recycling natural fibres for use in packaging material. The material produced using the so-called „Airlaid“ process can be processed into compostable e-commerce packaging, for example.
Airlaid is a textile-like material made from natural wood fibres, also known as fluff pulp. The fibres are bonded into a nonwoven using mechanical, chemical or thermal energy. The airlaid process produces a voluminous, porous and soft material that does not lose its properties due to moisture.
Conventional wet processes use a lot of water to form paper and cardboard, whereas the airlaid process transports and processes the fibres using only process air and consumes only a minimal amount of energy, as less or no water needs to be evaporated.
Cooperation with machine builder
Cardboard waste can be combined with fluff pulp in the airlaid process and processed into various environmentally friendly materials - for example, a soft, flexible and strong airlaid paper that can be used as packaging for shipping. By using waste fibres from internal production processes, for example, packaging companies can save money on the disposal of excess cardboard or other waste fibres - and at the same time produce new, environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic and cardboard packaging products.
Campen is currently working with its parent company Varo on the development of airlaid packaging for packaging machines. The result of this collaboration will be presented by Varo at Fachpack 2022. Other packaging solutions from Campen Machinery will also be presented, such as compostable trays for the food industry.
