EDT to Exhibit at Tissue World Barcelona 2015


EDT will be an exhibiting company at Tissue World Barcelona, Spain, to be held from March 17-19, 2015. The original Tissue World, which began in Nice in 1993 and since 2013 is held in Barcelona, is the world’s largest show specifically for the tissue business. Tissue World focuses on product innovation and sustainability and provides valuable content for buyers and decision-makers who attend the event. EDT will be discussing its enzyme-based technologies which center on a variety of value propositions for the processing of recovered wastepaper for the manufacture of tissue and towel. In particular, EDT will be focusing on its fiber modification technology and strategies employed with client mills to improve fiber strength in tissue, towel, and napkin and facial grades which allows for significant fiber savings through reduced basis weight, fiber substitution and reduced use of other approaches to develop strength.

Founded in 1994, Enzymatic Deinking Technologies, LLC (EDT) is a pioneer and leader in the development and commercialization of enzyme-based treatments for the pulp and paper industry. EDT's applications span both recovered fiber and virgin pulp processing. In fiber recycling applications, the company works with mills on customized treatments for a variety of value propositions spanning improvements in optical properties, physical properties, and throughput/operations. The company has an increasing focus of work in energy reduction and in helping mills reach their corporate sustainability goals. Each treatment is tailored to a mill's furnish, deink plant system, key operating conditions, as well as the desired goals from the application. EDT works with mills processing virgin pulp in the extractives management of mechanical pulps, fiber modification, and in the bio-bleaching of bleached kraft pulps. 

Based in Norcross, Georgia, USA, EDT has been providing mill-specific enzyme-based solutions to pulp and paper mills throughout the world since the mid 1990s.
