  • Patent number: 11692309
    Abstract: A system and method of forming a molded pulp product that involves separately collecting, from a paper-making process, waste water containing short fibers at a first fiber consistency, waste water as dilution water containing fibers at a second fiber consistency that is lower than the first fiber consistency, and water containing long fibers, the long fibers having a length that is greater than a length of the short fibers, blending the waste water containing short fibers and the water containing long fibers to obtain a pulp slurry, and molding the pulp slurry into a molded pulp product at a pulp molding machine. In an embodiment, filtrate removed during the molding of the molded pulp product has a BOD measurement that is 95% less than a BOD measurement of the pulp slurry, where the BOD measurements are obtained using the EPA 405.1, SM5210B Test Method.

  • Publication number: 20210087751
    Abstract: A method of making a tissue or paper towel product including forming two or more multi-layered webs of cellulosic fibers by a papermaking process using a structured fabric, the papermaking process comprising a step of adding a cross-linker to a pulp slurry comprising the cellulosic fibers so that at least some of the cellulosic fibers are cross-linked within the pulp slurry, and laminating the two or more multi-layered webs together so as to form a multi-ply product, each ply of the multi-ply product comprising cross-linked fibers as a percentage of the total fiber mix of the ply.
