  1. COST Action E46: DEINKING Improvements in the Understanding and Use of Deinking Technology Gérard GALLAND, COST E46Action Chair 13th PTS - CTP Deinking SymposiumLeipzig, 15 - 17 April 2008 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 1

  2. COST Action E46: DEINKING • This 13th PTS-CTP Deinking Symposium is held as a COST E46 workshop. • The most interesting results achieved by participants in the action are the subjects of 13 conferences included in the programme of these 3 days. • This symposium is, for COST participants, an unique opportunity to transfer research results to industry. 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 2

  3. What is COST? • Founded in 1971, COST is an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research, allowing the co-ordination of nationally funded research on a European level. • COST Actions cover basic and pre-competitive research as well as activities of public utility. • The goal of COST is to ensure that Europe holds a strong position in the field of scientific and technical research for peaceful purposes, by increasing European cooperation and interaction in this field. • COST has 34 member countries and enables scientists to collaborate in a wide spectrum of activities grouped under nine key scientific Domains. • For more information:http://www.cost.esf.org 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 3

  7. COST Actions • COST Actions are new, innovative, and interdisciplinary scientific networks of nationally funded researchteams of at least five COST countries. They cover basic and pre-competitive research for peaceful purposes as well as activities of public utility. • They also contribute to the scientific, economic, cultural or societal development of Europe, by supporting networking activities such as meetings, conferences, short term scientific exchanges and outreach activities. COST does not fund the research in itself. • The duration of an Action is generally 4 years.The increasing number of COST Actions reflects the success of COST within the European Scientific Community. 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 7

  8. Previous and ongoing COST Actions related to Paper Recycling • E1 : Paper Recyclability (1993-1998) Chaired by Angeles Blanco, Spain This action has initiated networking in Europe • E46 : Improvements in the Understanding and Use of Deinking Technology(2004-2008) • E48: The Limits of Paper Recycling (2005-2009) Steering Group: Jan-Erik Levlin, Finland (Chairman) Harald Grossmann, Germany Angeles Blanco, Spain François Julien-Saint-Amand, France Arie Hooimeijer, the Netherlands 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 8

  9. Background of COST ACTION E46 • Deinked pulp - principal raw material for many papermaking operations, e.g. Newsprint, magazine, tissue & office papers. • Deinking systems have evolved from existing technology. • Process outwardly simple - but in reality complex. • Further complicated by variability of incoming material. • Present process satisfactory for most printed output - but a number of print/ink systems already known to create problems. 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 9

  10. Printing and Deinking 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 10

  11. Specific Objectives • Develop better understanding of mechanisms, • Better understand flotation process variables, • Propose methods for improving deinkability of difficult systems, • Monitor and assess trends in printingtechnology, ink & toner developments, market requirements for printed papers. • Create a platform for interaction between European scientists and technologists for the transfer of knowledge and expertise. 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 11

  12. European Research in the Deinking Area R&D related to deinking began at the beginning of the 70s(D, F, UK). Nowadays different organisations are involved and participating in the action: • Institutes: with several decades of expertise, close contacts to the Industry and the ability to implement research results in mills • Universities involved in fundamental research, • Institutes and Universities developing expertise to support local Industry Companies, particularly machinery suppliers, are also engaged in competitive research but are not involved in the action. Some confidential projects- related to process improvement - are also carried out on a confidential basis by certain research institutes. 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 12

  29. FINAL CONFERENCE Final Conference, 22 -23 October 2008Bordeaux, (during the ATIP conference) • The goal of this final conference will be to initiate in-depth discussions among representatives of the paper industry, of the printing industry and COST researchers on the issue of printing technologies and deinkability. • The conference will focus on the deinkability of all print types. It will involve printing and paper industry representatives. The objective is to review deinking difficulties related to different types of print and the solutions proposed. Efforts of printers and ink manufacturers to improve the deinkability of their products will be discussed as well as possible adaptations of the deinking process.Particular focus will be given to results obtained in the framework of the action. • INGEDE will be associated in the organisation of this conference. 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 29

  30. Conclusion:Deinking Research Requirement • To face the challenges of the future, both fundamental and applied research is required. • Collaboration, with a limited number of companies sharing costs and results, is the best solution for projects aimed at improving the profitability and competitiveness of these companies, compared to others without access to the same results. • Large consortia, with representatives of all members of the paper chain, can support projects of interest for the entire paper chain in order to secure the sustainability of the entire paper chain. • All partners: universities, institutes, corporate R&D, still haveimportant roles to play and COST Actions are efficient tools for improving collaboration between the various partners. 13th PTS - CTP Deinking Symposium / 30
