Recycling Today Announces Details on European Paper Recycling Conference

The Recycling Today Media Group has announced details of one of its feature sessions at the European Paper Recycling Conference and Trade Show, to be held Oct. 3-5 at the Amsterdam Hilton in The Netherlands. The third annual European Paper Recycling Conference offers leading European secondary paper packing, brokerage, consuming mills and equipment business executives the opportunity to discuss current industry trends and network with colleagues.

The conference itself features a wide range of programs, including sessions examining mill consumption trends, recovered paper pricing trends, and international trade and demand patterns.

Specifically, one discussion will provide the perspective of a leading mill operation and leading recovery companies in a session entitled: Meeting Mill Specifications.

Always important, and sometimes controversial, meeting the specifications of recovered paper consumers is essential to maintaining the value chain in the paper recycling industry. Striking the balance between increasing recovery rates and maintaining quality, however, is quite difficult. This panel presentation will address this subject while allowing attendees the opportunity to ask questions of the presenters.

The panel is led by Dr. Michael Kühl, the president of the European Recovered Paper Association. The session will feature a number of prominent industry leaders, including:

• Guillermo Vallés Albar, Director de Materiales, SAICA, Spain

• Hubert Neuhaus, Fritsche & Neuhaus Handels GmbH, Germany

• Cees Van Berkel, C.V.B. Recycling NV, Belgium

"As a pressing issue ERPA continues to work towards industry specifications for recovered fiber grades. This session will provide the perspective from both the packers and mills perspective" says Kühl.

The European Paper Recycling Conference will also include a display area featuring equipment and service providers showcasing the latest products and technology designed to improve production efficiencies and quality, as well as to increase capacity.
