Responding to the increasing concern of preserving healthy environment, PT Suparma Tbk invested De-Inking Plant facility with total capacity of 40,800 tons p.a..

This De-Inking Plant is built for recycling waste paper into De-Inking Pulp, which is the part of raw material in the production process.

The process of De-Inking is aimed to increase production efficiency as well as to help conserve the forest environment.

Prior to the De-Inking process, wastepaper is sorted and classified according to its grade and quality.

Chronologically, the process of De-Inking is done in several stages:
1. Re-pulping / De-fibering
2. Cleaning and Screening
3. Kneading with chemical addition and Soaking
4. Flotating
5. Bleaching and Washing

The product of the De-Inking process is called De-Inked Pulp.

The de-inked pulp is then transferred to the stock preparation to be refined to a certain degree of freeness and blended with virgin pulp, and other materials including chemicals to restructure as well as to improve the quality of the fiber properties.

Finally, the pulp is ready to be processed on the paper machine.
