Paper Excellence is pleased to welcome Doug Routley, MLA for Nanaimo – North Cowichan and Parliamentary Secretary for Forests to its Catalyst Crofton mill today to see how the recently awarded $5.85 million of CleanBC funding will impact the operation. Catalyst Crofton’s GHG emission reduction project is a combination of three process improvements that will result in a significant reduction in total steam energy demand, resulting in decreased natural gas usage at the mill. The three areas of focus for this project are: 1. Re-engineering an unused diffusion washer with state-of-the-art diffusion washing technology to maximize the black liquor fuel quality while using less steam energy. 2. Investing in fibre filter equipment to remove valuable wood fibre from the black liquor fuel and increase the efficiency of the evaporation process. 3. Automate the cleaning process of Evaporator #3 to improve steam efficiency through reduced evaporator downtime.

Lecta is pleased to announce that its Leitza mill in Spain has obtained FSSC 22000 food safety systems certification for its metallized papers for packaging applications in the food industry. Lecta, which had already obtained FSSC 22000 certification for its Sant Joan les Fonts mill and ISO 22000 certification for food safety management systems at its Motril mill, both in Spain, thereby guarantees the safety of its manufacturing processes and end products for packaging applications in this sector. This is an essential step in meeting the needs and trust of its clients and consumers in general. FSSC 22000 and ISO 22000 food safety standards are two of the most widely known standards in the food industry and entail rigorous audits to ensure compliance.
