Industrial Validation of Biotechnologies for Recycled Fibers to Regain Fiber Quality and Increase Secondary Feedstock in High Value-Added Paper Grades

Western Michigan University and Graphic Packaging International will demonstrate reliable, consistent, and efficient performance of enzyme-based paper recycling technologies across multiple commercial recycled-fiber production lines at a GPI paper mill, leveraging GPI’s two paper machines, diverse recycled-fiber grades, and comprehensive recycling equipment to confirm robust, industrial-scale performance under real-world operating conditions.
