Many societal and economic developments have a lasting effect on the paper industry. Government supported programs for bioenergy will lead to more competition for wood in the future and will jeopardize the availability of fiber.

The recovered paper feedstock does have some restrictions due to limited collection systems. In addition, the increasing global demand for energy and water is leading to price increases, thus raising operating costs for paper manufacturers.

With theses conditions in mind, we have analyzed a variety of paper manufacturing processes. We developed the Integrated EcoMill (IEM) concept based on these findings. A fully integrated paper mill can significantly reduce the use of resources in the manufacturing process, and production costs can be lowered.
