Closed recycling loop for Infinity press felts from Voith
Voith is launching an innovative recycling concept for press felts in collaboration with its partner Aquafil, enabling papermakers to drastically reduce their specific product carbon footprint. The newly developed Infinity +Green press felts and a closed recycling loop reduce Scope 3 emissions by up to 31 percent. “The majority of CO2 emissions in press felt production are related to raw material sourcing,” explains Anne Klaschka, Global Product Manager Press Felts at Voith Paper. “In addition, around 20 percent is caused by end-of-life disposal. The focus on recycling solutions is a logical consequence of this and supports papermakers in achieving their ambitious sustainability goals. We have given ourselves the task of developing an innovative concept that meets both the requirements of the industry and environmental goals.”
