Drewsen Spezialpapiere

LACHENDORF, Germany, April 28, 2021 (Press Release) -Sustainability and environmentally friendly packaging solutions are increasingly influencing our everyday lives. Brand owners, consumers and legislation are demanding a reduction of plastic usage.

DREWSEN has been and will continue focusing on developing new grades that can replace plastic and are therefore fit for the future.

After having placed the new qualities PROBARRIER PFAS-free Greaseproof Papers and PROSTRAW for the manufacture of paper drinking straws in the market, DREWSEN is pleased to introduce to the market another sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to plastic:

PROSEAL is a sealable paper that seals well with ultrasonic or high speed heat sealing devices. The excellent sealability is achieved by water based dispersion coating on one side of the paper. Due to its outstanding mechanical properties PROSEAL can easily be implemented on existing packaging production lines (form-fill and seal, vertical and horizontal flowpack). The consistent high quality of PROSEAL ensures a trouble-free processing and application.

PROSEAL is

  • designed for various packaging applications, such as the primary and secondary packaging of dry and non-fatty foodstuff as well as for packaging of non-food items (DIY articles, children’s toys, household goods, etc.) that require no further barriers;
  • certified for direct food contact (BfR recommendation XXXVI, FDA) and can on request be supplied with FSC or PEFC certification;
  • recyclable without reserves according to EN 13430;
  • printable with flexo and gravure printing

DREWSEN SPEZIALPAPIERE, with its headquarters in Lachendorf, Germany, supplies its speciality and security papers to many customers throughout the world. With a production capacity of 165.000 tons, the DREWSEN SPEZIALPAPIERE product portfolio is made up of three product groups: PROSECURA Security Paper, PROFINO Print and Packaging Paper and PROTECH Technical Paper. Since 2019 the group SUSTAINABLE PAPER SOLUTIONS offers solutions on the topic ‘paper instead of plastic’. More than 400 employees within this independent, family owned company generate an annual turnover of € 150 mil. DREWSEN SPEZIALPAPIERE is a market leader and world-renowned for its high quality products and individual customer service.

LACHENDORF, Germany, April 22, 2021 (Press Release) -Social responsibility and sustainability, i.e. the subject of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), have always held high priority at DREWSEN.

In order to make its efforts and improvements in this area more visible to customers, DREWSEN has once again been assessed by EcoVadis.

EcoVadis is an international leader in corporate sustainability rankings. Performance is assessed in four categories: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

LACHENDORF, Germany, June 18, 2020 (Press Release) -Plastic drinking straws are one of the single-use plastic products that will be banned as the result of a European directive (2019/904) from mid-2021. Paper straws are a sustainable alternative.

With the establishment of a Competence Center for drinking straw papers, the speciality paper manufacturer DREWSEN wants to make a decisive contribution to the development of highquality paper drinking straws. The interaction of paper, glue and drinking straw machine are largely unknown.

DREWSEN is committed to shedding light on this triangle of paper, glue and machine in more detail and has therefore installed a paper straw machine and additional processing systems for straws at their headquarters in Lachendorf earlier this year. With this step, DREWSEN combines the expertise in paper and drinking straw production under one roof in order to develop the best possible drinking straw paper for the market.

In order to understand the market requirements, and to find the right solutions, DREWSEN relies on close and open cooperation with all market participants: This includes glue manufacturers, machine manufacturers and straw producers. Together, the best paper solutions - in terms of quality, costs and ecological sustainability - are to be developed for the drinking straw made of paper.

DREWSEN SPEZIALPAPIERE, with its headquarters in Lachendorf, Germany, supplies its speciality and security papers to many customers throughout the world. With a production capacity of 160.000 tons, the DREWSEN SPEZIALPAPIERE product portfolio is made up of three product groups: PROSECURA Security Paper, PROFINO Print and Packaging Paper and PROTECH Technical Paper.

LACHENDORF, Germany, Dec. 2, 2019 (Press Release) -Plastic drinking straws are one of the single use products that will be banned in a European directive from 2021.

DREWSEN, in partnership with paper straw manufacturers, have successfully developed an alternative to plastic straws: PROSTRAW which provides high water resistance and absolute safety for direct food contact.

Thanks to its mechanical properties, PROSTRAW Classic can be processed very well at high production speeds, to form a rigid and durable drinking straw. In addition, it is recyclable and compostable.

To manufacture straws with an increased shelf life for more demanding applications such as industrial applications, DREWSEN has developed PROSTRAW Smart with water-repellent properties. Not only does this grade provide a smooth and pleasant feel on the lips, the anti-fizz effect prevents the degassing of carbonated drinks.

Both varieties can be recycled via the blue bin, but should any paper straws find their way into the environment, unlike plastic straws, the paper straws will disintegrate within a short period, without any damage to wildlife or the environment.

DREWSEN welcomes the opportunity to work together in development partnerships to find tailor-made solutions for Tomorrow.

LACHENDORF, Germany, Sept. 3, 2019 (Press Release) -DREWSEN SPEZIALPAPIERE has modernised the press section of its PM 5 with the installation of a Smarnip shoe press. This was the first, and most significant phase, of a two-stage conversion concept.

In addition to the key objective of optimizing the production of low weight specialty paper grades, the rebuild targeted improvements in energy efficiency and the reduction of CO2 emissions.

The installation was completed on schedule by the Italian paper machinery manufacturer PMT SRL, and the performance of the rebuilt PM5 was increased well within the planned timeframe.

The full, increased capacity of the paper machine will be achieved after the completion of the second conversion phase, with further modernisation of the press and pre-drying section in summer 2020.

With this multi-million Euro investment, DREWSEN has taken another important step towards expanding its market position for Thermal base papers, Thin printing and Label papers, Barrier papers for food packaging, and moreover, papers manufactured to replace plastic.

LACHENDORF, Germany, Aug. 31, 2018 (Press Release) -Mineral oil components in foods are undesirable and harmful. It has been proven that saturated mineral oils (MOSH) accumulate in the human body. Aromatic mineral oils (MOAH) are considered carcinogenic.

The paperboard packaging made from waste paper is a relevant source of mineral oil contamination in food. These recycled fibres contain, for example, mineral oils from newsprint inks. These oils evaporate, penetrate conventional paper, cardboard and some plastics, and accumulate in food. Sources are therefore both the primary packaging made from recycled solid board and transport packaging made from corrugated board.

DREWSEN SPEZIALPAPIERE has developed a packaging paper that keeps the advantages of current paper packaging materials and additionally provides an effective barrier against mineral oil migration. A barrier layer of natural, vegetable and mineral components prevents gaseous mineral oil constituents from passing into the interior of the package. The advantages paper has, the natural feel, the unrestricted recyclability, compostability and a good cost-benefit ratio, remain.

PROBARRIER Nature Mineral Oil Repellent Papers can be processed by conventional methods into bags or as inner liners for cartons.

PROBARRIER Nature … naturally well packed.
