Paper waste panel

ECOR Panels

ECOR panels consist of recycled cellulose fibers sourced from local residual flows from the city, agriculture or industrial processes. The standard panels are 100% recycled paper and cardboard. These panels are designed in various shapes so they can be used in all kinds of ways indoors and, when provided with a coating, also outdoors.

This ECOR standard panel is made from 100% recycled cardboard and paper from a local facility in the Limburg region

The production process

  • The production process depends on the residual materials streams used, the received raw material may need to undergo additional pre-treatment to extract the cellulose fibers.
  • Once the fibers enter the process, only water is added to the mixture to make a wet panel at first.
  • Then, with pressure and heat, the final ECOR panel is produced.

Applied

The ECOR standard panels are developed to be applied in various ways: as marketing materials, packaging, interior design materials and/or building materials.

Environmental impact

  • The ECOR panels have a clean production process, in which VOCs and toxic glues are involved. Therefore, no heavy special environmental and discharge permits are needed.
  • ECOR panels support circular business models or initiatives that maintain materials and products in use for as long as possible through, for instance, reuse, remanufacturing and repurposing.
  • Zero waste production is fostered as the cutting losses from previous production becomes input for the next panels production, which can be both recycled and refurbished
  • Valorize cellulose-based residual streams, which are sourced from bio-based feedstocks considered a waste material stream from e.g. harvesting or industry processes
  • Contribute to a better and healthier world, phasing out waste
