Need a Solution for Post-Consumer Incorporation of Post-Consumer Pizza Boxes in the Recovered Fiber Stream: Impacts of Grease on Finished Quality Grease and cheese contamination of used pizza boxes has led to misunderstanding and controversy about the recyclability of pizza boxes. Some collection facilities accept pizza boxes while others do not. Expert Ashok Ghosh, Director, Fiber Science and Innovation for WestRock, will lead this live online event. He, along with Peter W. Hart, Adel Panek, Tran Nguyen and Meredith Dooley authored a TAPPI Journal article on this topic (March 2021) to determine if typical grease or cheese contamination levels associated with pizza boxes impact finished product quality. Read the entire article here, then join in on TAPPI Connect live on September 9 as Ghosh answers questions on the topic. To attend, log in at 10:00am (or any time before it ends at noon) on Friday, September 9. Can't Think of a Question to Ask? Please note: this is an online discussion thread only. Not a video or webinar. After the event, the entire discussion will be available on TAPPI Connect to read in its entirety. STAR of the Month

Background: In order to make full use of this guide, it is necessary to understand the importance of the refining process and the basics of refining. Refining has great influence for fiber properties in paper making process. The old adage that “Paper is made in the beater refiner” holds true for every paper product. In relation to the other processes involved in papermaking, only drying uses more energy, and no other process modifies the fiber properties or has more effect on the various aspects of the sheet than refining.
