Circular
Makes the STP part of a cellulose circular economy
and contributes greatly to its corporate social responsibility.
Upcycling cellulose from toilet paper
-
Toilet paper is made from cellulose that comes from trees.
-
Approximately, 180 000 tons of toilet paper per year are flushed in the Netherlands alone.
-
Global production of toilet paper consumes around 27 000 trees daily.
When used, toilet paper becomes a waste that gets burned or dumped at a landfill. This traditional method of disposal is very costly and unsustainable.
We provide an alternative. Cellvation® is a process that can be used instead of or in conjunction with the primary treatment of a sewage treatment plant. We remove the toilet paper and then upcycle it into a cellulose product.
Our installation at the waste water treatment plant Geestmerambacht produces up to 400 kg of cellulose per day.
