Deinking ProcessINGEDE Thematic Pillars –
General Trends
• Higher diversity of printing technologies
• New Inks in conventional printing
• New converting technologies and materials
Recyclability Paper for Recycling Deinking Process
• Declining share of graphic products in Household collection
• Declining availability of deinking grades
• Increasing use in “white fiber based” packaging
• Increasing share of board in deinking grades
• Increasing load of non‐paper components
• High ash content
• Decreasing brightness potential
• Increasing problems with “stickies”
INGEDE Symposium 2019
Recyclability
Paper for Recycling
Deinking ProcessRecyclability Case A –
Pressure Sensitive Labels
• Recovered paper contains increased amountsof pressure sensitive labels
• The adhesives typically used for PSL are hardly separable in paper recycling processand stay “sticky” with heavy impact on
– Paper production process
– Paper machine maintenance
– Final paper quality
Thus stickers are not recyclable and INGEDE has raised thechallenge and pushed suppliers to find a solution

Recyclability
Paper for Recycling
Deinking ProcessRecyclability Case B –
UV Cured Prints
• UV cured inks in most cases lead to dirt specks in paper produced from recovered paper due to
– too little fragmentation,
– too little hydrophobicity
• UV curing with “environmental friendly” drying (e. g. LED) does at least not support to solve the problem
• INGEDE has raised the topics many times, which finally led to increased research activities at printing ink manufacturers

Deinking ProcessRecyclability Case C –
INDIGO Liquid Toner Prints
• Already in 2001, problems with Indigo liquid toner were identified by CTP
• “Accidental Mill Trial”: Significant damage at a paper mill with small amount of Indigo printer waste was reported already in 2010
• Several incidents at different mills and negative recyclability tests
• INGEDE has raised the topic many times and “…COPACEL, FEDEREC, UNIIC and HP call on printers to implement a separate collection of waste and scrap from HP Indigo technology prints…” in July 2018
Hear good news today?

INGEDE Symposium 2019
Recyclability
Paper for Recycling
Deinking ProcessRecyclability of Printed Products
– Current Major Topics
• UV printing technologies
– Deinkability issues lead to co‐operation with ink manufacturers
– Meetings and conferences at bvdm in Berlin
– IGF Project of PMV and SID launched in Jan 2019
• Monitoring the development of “mineral oil optimised” ink
• Methods and standardisation
– Deinkability assessment ISO 21331 – scope changed to guideline document, work ongoing
– Discolouration test method ISO 21896 in DIS ballot
– Deinkability method ISO 21993 passed DIS ballot, but with many comments
INGEDE Symposium 2019
Recyclability
Paper for Recycling
Deinking ProcessPaper for Recycling
– Current Major Topics
• Availability of graphic paper for recycling– Balanced availability in 2018 with support from CHINA
– Increased production of “white fiber based” packaging (e. g. white top liner) requires additional share of graphic papers from the graphic loop
Increased and improved collection
Increased sorting of mixed grades
More efficient sorting capacities
• Methods and standardisation– Sampling standard EN 17085 passed prEN ballot,
is currently under FprEN ballot
– Revision of EN 643 and standard (based on INGEDE Method 14)to determine composition are in preparation
INGEDE Symposium 2019
Recyclability
Paper for Recycling
Deinking ProcessDeinking Process
– Current Major Topics
• Optical defects in paper and prints– Dirt specks, particularly for users of high
grades of paper for recycling
– Hickeys
Task Force “Foreign Particles”
• Lower brightness potential in standard grades– Analysis ongoing
– Activities in preparation
• Stickies– Cost and effect matrix developed
to exchange of experience
– Common ways to solve the issue to be discussed

Deinking ProcessNews from the European Paper Recycling
Council (EPRC) – 2018/2019
• Monitoring Report 2017:
– Resilient European paper recycling inchallenging international context
– Recycling rate: 72,3 %
– Europe is the paper recycling champion!
• Revision of Removal Scorecard with respect to hotmelt adhesive applications completed(larger revision postponed due to working capacity)
• Updating of Recyclability Guidelinedocument initiated (but postponed due to working capacity, planned for 2019)

INGEDE Members
INGEDE is the organisation of the deinking mills.
Currently 27 paper millsare members of INGEDE, who utilised about 6,4 million tons of paper for recycling in 2018.
Already 7 partners activelysupport the work of INGEDE since 2018

INGEDE in 30 Years
• Commonly financed research on deinking process, collection and recyclability of printed products to support the success of increased of Recycling Rate in Europe
• Successful against the threat of water based flexographic printing spreading over Europe
• Raising awareness and triggering improvements at new threats, e. g. UV, inkjet, liquid toner, PSA
• Providing orientation for printers and converters to improve recyclability by defining methods and financing surveys, resulting in assessment schemes and ecolabel criteria
• Developing standards to secure quality of PfR at the mills
