AYLESFORD NEWSPRINT: SENSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR RECOVERED PAPER
Friday 02. July 2010 - Recycling & Waste Management Exhibition, NEC, Birmingham, 14 - 16 September 2010 Stand: 920
One in seven newspapers bought and read in the UK is recycled and reprocessed at the Aylesford Newsprint paper mill in Kent. Annually, some 500,000 tonnes of newspapers and magazines from local authority kerbside collections and bring banks across the UK are delivered to the Kent mill where they are pulped and cleaned before being manufactured into 100% recycled newsprint. With the complete recycling and reprocessing cycle taking as little as 10 days, the newsprint can be delivered into press rooms within a fortnight.
Aylesford Newsprint has been producing 100% recycled newsprint from UK recovered newspapers and magazines since 1984. The company works with more than 200 local authorities, waste management companies and not-for-profit organisations, providing a long-term guaranteed market for recovered paper. From these deliveries, Aylesford manufactures the 100% recycled newsprint branded Renaissance, supplying national newspaper groups such as News International, Trinity Mirror and Associated Newspapers as well as regional publishers in the UK and to publishers throughout Western Europe.
Paper recycling and newsprint manufacture is one of the UKs most mature resource recovery end markets. To maintain and increase the potential of this successful mainstay of landfill diversion, Aylesford Newsprint is working closely with both its suppliers and customers to facilitate maximum resource diversion and develop new markets. Combined, these will provide the flexibility needed by collections authorities and their contractors while still guaranteeing the high quality end product required by the publishing industry.
This year at RWM Aylesford will be on hand to discuss how collection and sorting methods can increase diversion with minimum impact on quality. Theyll also explain how work undertaken by the companys new product development team is securing new end markets which will help guarantee a long term outlet within a changing media market.
