Textile recycling in Europe is now evolving with a sense of urgency as it becomes clear that the discarding of garments and apparels of clothing represent a major threat to the environment.

ANDRITZ works hand in hand with international research partners in order to combine expertise in plant engineering with process knowledge and innovative approaches – addressing everything from automated sorting, mechanical and chemical textile recycling to combined processes.

A Showcase in Efficiency and Sustainability

ANDRITZ once again teamed up with students from the Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) when it was looking for a solution to reuse heat and steam at pulp mills.

The ANDRITZ recovery boiler product group has performed in excellent fashion over recent years with the sales team securing a high percentage of the market across the globe. But who are they, where do they work, and what makes them so special?

Transforming a pulp mill into a biorefinery for renewable fuels

Occupational safety while working on pulp mill projects is a major topic at European Pulp Industry Sector (EPIS), an international non-profit association of market pulp producers.

There is increasing pressure for tissue producers to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. ANDRITZ has been busy developing solutions which are innovative, efficient, and minimize the consumption of resources – without compromising on product quality.

Biomass Gasification for Lime Kilns — Going fossil fuel free is an urgent sustainability topic that has become even more critical due to the current global energy crisis. It is clear we must reduce our dependence on fossil fuel.
