OutNature, a brand of the environmental services provider PreZero, is now starting production of silphie paper on an industrial scale after successfully completing the research and development phase. Together with Pfleiderer Spezialpapiere, regular production of the innovative and sustainable silphie paper will begin in January 2022 in Teisnach, Lower Bavaria.<\/strong><\/p>

With Pfleiderer, the Silphie paper will in future be offered in a new low basis weight range of 35 to 120 grams per square metre. In addition, new types of paper can now also be introduced, so that blends are possible not only with virgin fibres as before, but also with waste paper<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eThe partnership with Pfleiderer offers us the opportunity to establish the production of silphie paper on an economical and sustainable basis. We are also expanding our product portfolio from the fast-growing and bee-friendly Silphie plant in terms of basis weight and raw material base<\/strong>\u201c, says Thomas Tappertzhofen, Managing Director of OutNature<\/a>.<\/p>

\u201eWith the production of silphie paper in resource-saving, low basis weights, we are setting new standards as part of our PT Eco Fibre concept. We are convinced that Silphie fibre is a regional and renewable fibre alternative for the paper industry<\/strong> and are pleased to be able to contribute our experience in the use of alternative fibres and the production of barrier papers to the new partnership with OutNature. With the planned commissioning of a new biomass cogeneration plant in the second half of 2022 and the then climate-neutral production of thermal energy, we will be able to generate additional make an important contribution to optimising the carbon footprint of the Silphie papers produced in Teisnach<\/strong>\u201e, says Karl Augustin, Head of Product Management and Marketing at Pfleiderer Spezialpapiere, outlining the joint co-operation.<\/p>
