Leading European paper manufacturers with deinking plants
founded the International Association of the Deinking Industry,
a non profit organisation, in 1989.
Currently 37 paper millsare members of INGEDE,
who utilised about 10.5 Mio tons of recovered paper in 2006.
Who is INGEDE?
“For improving the necessary supply of recovered graphic paper for the paper industry and to avoid an increasing role of legislation it is important that
• the paper industry defines, supports and coordinates the necessary research activities in the field of deinking and
• to seek the cooperation with all other members of the paper chain.”
(Translated from the protocol of the first INGEDE meeting on February 27th 1989).
Objectives of INGEDE
What does INGEDE do?
Research Projects
Communication with members of the paper
chain and the public
Representation in Technical Committees
Test Methods and Procedures
Exchange of Technical Experience

European Declaration on Paper Recycling
The “Declaration” is an important self-commitment of the paper value chain
More information and download from www.paperrecovery.org
European Declaration on Paper Recycling
• Target recycling rate: 66% ± 1.5% by 2010• Qualitative targets for recyclability and
paper collection systems• Six associations from paper & converting
industry, printing, recovered paper trade are committed to the quantitative and qualitativetargets
• Seven associations of the publishing sector and of suppliers to printers & converters support the qualitative targets
• The EU acts as observer
• INGEDE test methods
Work for Improving the Recyclability of Printed Products
• European Declaration on Paper Recycling
• Guide to an Optimum Recyclability of Printed Graphic Paper
• Assessment schemes –adopted within the paper chain
• Recyclability surveys and research projects

Think of Recyclability when Designing a Paper Product
For good recyclability, paper products have to be:
Repulpable – important for all types of paper products
Adhesives have to be removable – important for all types of paper products
Deinkable in flotation deinking – important for all graphic products
Printing – Deinking
Increasing Ink Particle Size
Waterbased Oil / Solvent based Cross-linked
Suitability for Flotation Deinking
Offset (Veg. Oil)

Requests for Recovered Paper Collection Systems
• The deinking process requires clean recovered paper, free from non-paper components and undeinkable papers
• Increasing collection has to consider these requirements
• Separate collection of P&B from other recyclables is a must for the paper industry
• Separate collection of graphic papers is an advantage for deinking mills
Important: No Co-mingled Collection!
Co-mingled means contamination and less efficiency(Anders Hildeman, SCA,
Chairman of the European Recovered Paper Council)
