Recycled paper

Paper from Model consists of 100 percent waste paper. Used paper products are valuable resources for us, which we process sustainably. When manufacturing paper, we attach great importance to quality and care throughout the entire production process. We also rely on short distances within the Model Group. This makes our production efficient with a low carbon footprint.

Our construction progress over time

Waste paper as raw material

Quality assurance

We already pay attention to the highest quality when the raw material is delivered: Our employees check the delivered waste paper bales closely. Quality assurance includes:

Testing for foreign substances, i.e. non-paper components. We accept a maximum of 7 percent foreign matter in the base material.
Testing for wet strength, as these cannot be dissolved.

Environmentally friendly

Recycled paper

At Model, we always know exactly which raw materials and additional materials were use to manufacture the paper and packaging. We also check the upstream and downstream activities ourselves. This enables us to make the entire manufacturing process and our supply chains transparent for our customers. Another plus: Recycled paper is ideal for the majority of all types of packaging.

Our paper grades

Testliner & corrugated fabric & flute liner

The testliner paper grade is produced for the outer and inner liner of corrugated board. Our testliner in quality grades 1, 2 and 3 is made from 100% recycled fibers. Our Testliner 1 has the highest strength properties.

The corrugating medium paper grade is produced for our corrugated cardboard production as a corrugated paper web between the outer and inner liner of the corrugated cardboard. In addition to the standard corrugating medium, we also produce a dew-improved high-performance variant called Medium HP, which offers higher strength values. Our fluting is also made from 100% recycled fibers.

The Flute-Liner paper grade combines the two worlds of testliner and corrugating medium: it is equally suitable for use as an outer and inner liner as well as for the corrugated paper web. Flute-Liner is made from 100% recycled fibers.

Sustainably produced

Kraftliner Replacement

As strong as virgin fiber kraftliner, sustainably made from recycled paper: Our kraftliner replacement based on 100% recycled fibers is a cheap substitute product. We use kraftliner quality paper when very high strength (stability) is required (for spare parts and machine parts packaging, overseas transport and refrigerated packaging).

Technology and logistics

Optimal cooperation for our customers

Around the clock, seven days a week, our employees take care of the complex papermaking processes with passion and know-how. The smooth maintenance of the technical systems is an exciting, challenging task. Our factory logistics move raw materials and finished goods in large quantities every day. We can offer our customers the best possible quality because of the strength of this cooperation.
