The invention relates to a container board manufactured using waste paper as the primary raw material, offering an eco-friendly and cost-efficient alternative to virgin fiber-based boards. The process involves sorting, cleaning, pulping, and refining waste paper to produce a high-strength board suitable for corrugated packaging applications.

Abstract
This recycled container board demonstrates excellent mechanical strength, surface uniformity, and printability, while significantly reducing the environmental footprint of production. The innovation promotes circular economy principles in packaging by extending the lifecycle of paper fibers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The traditional production of container board often relies on virgin kraft pulp, which, while effective, is resource-intensive and environmentally taxing. With growing global concerns about deforestation, waste generation, and carbon emissions, the industry has turned to waste paper recycling as a sustainable alternative.
This invention utilizes waste paper—such as Old Corrugated Containers (OCC), Mixed Office Waste (MOW), and Newspaper Waste—to manufacture high-performance container board. Advanced cleaning and screening systems remove contaminants and ensure consistent pulp quality. The resulting product maintains strength, flexibility, and durability comparable to virgin fiber board while offering considerable environmental and economic advantages.
This development supports global sustainability goals, promotes zero-waste manufacturing, and aligns with government and corporate initiatives to increase recycled content in packaging materials.
