PAPERCHAIN

The objective of the paperChain project was to deploy five novel circular economy models centred in the valorisation of waste streams generated by the Pulp and Paper Industry (PPI) as secondary raw material for three main resources intensive sectors: construction, mining and the chemical industry.

The project demonstrated the potential of a resource efficient model based on industrial symbiosis showing that major non-hazardous waste streams generated by the PPI could be used as valuable secondary raw material.
