VILNIUS, Lithuania, Jan. 24, 2020 (Press Release) -Grigeo AB, based in Grigiškės, intends to implement public monitoring platforms that will track information on the test results of the taken process water, discharged sewage, and air. In order to meet the highest environmental standards, the company will supplement its existing environmental protection systems with automated processes that allow not only for the easier tracking of data but also allow to make it available to the public. Grigeo AB plans to implement these actions during the first six months of this year.

“The maximum attention to the environmental protection is one of our most important tasks. We want to dispel any doubts in the public domain regarding the transparency and environmental impact of the operation of Grigeo AB. The new improvements in the field of ecology will enable residents to keep track of relevant information and to make sure that the company’s operation is sustainable,” says Tomas Jozonis, CEO of Grigeo AB.

The company plans to automate the water monitoring system that is currently in use. According to T. Jozonis this will allow for more efficient systematisation of incoming data on the amount of water consumed and discharged by the plant, as well as the demand for process water. This information will be made available on a public monitoring platform. There are also plans to constantly publish the test results of Grigeo AB process water and sewage. Monitoring platforms will also provide residents with periodic updates of weather data showing the carbon dioxide emissions of boiler rooms. Incident and unconventional situation emergency response action plans will also be made available to public.

A new position of sustainability manager has been created at Grigeo AB to monitor already implemented environmental solutions and to implement future environmental solutions. T. Jozonis states that the company is committed to continue its cooperation with environmental authorities, follow their recommendations, and take further actions, which will help to meet even higher environmental standards.

    HEIDENHEIM, Germany and TATARSTAN, Russia, Jan. 28, 2020 (Press Release) -
  • New sleeve world record with a running time of 661 days
  • Voith’s QualiFlex extends its leading position for shoe press applications.

Hayat Kimya Alabuga TM 4 sets a new world record by using Voith’s QualiFlex CrownT sleeve on the ViscoNip application in Russia. The paper mill produces virgin fiber-based toilet paper, paper napkins and kitchen towels. In December 2017, a QualiFlex CrownT sleeve was installed at Hayat Kimya TM 4 maintaining stable machine production during the entire sleeve lifetime. Voith’s QualiFlex CrownT sleeve reached a world record life of 661 days and 473,810,000 nip cycles. The former world record sleeve on such an application was set in China, achieving 585 days.

The customer was very satisfied with the result. “My congratulations to the whole Voith team for this excellent result and belt quality. My personal thanks to Voith for the support and proper service during the runtime of this belt,” says Mr. Lenar Safin, Tissue Production Chief at Hayat Kimya.

Press sleeves for every requirement

With QualiFlex CrownT, Voith offers a superior press sleeve for tissue shoe press applications which enables stable machine operating conditions and optimum efficiency. Selected polyurethane materials ensure the highest possible abrasion resistance under challenging high temperature conditions.

Compared to the conventional press sleeves, QualiFlex CrownT is especially designed for tissue applications. Conventional press sleeves show strong reactions to harsh conditions, and often suffer from hydrolysis, higher wear and reduced void volume.

With Voith’s QualiFlex CrownT, open area and void volume can be designed exactly to the customer’s needs. The special heat-resistant material formulation makes this press sleeve the perfect choice for very demanding applications. Voith QualiFlex press sleeves extend the leading position for shoe press applications in the tissue sector.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2020 (Business Wire) -Today, Charmin®rollsinto CES 2020 with Charmin GoLab, the first-ever innovation showcase focused on helping people Enjoy the Go, anytime, anywhere. GoLab features three cheeky, never-before-seen conceptual prototypes made to deliver a better bathroom experience from start to flush.

People use the bathroom 6-7 times a day, and spend on average 156 hours a year on the toilet.1,2And yet, in a world that’s ever-evolving with new technology, the bathroom is basically the same as it was 100 years ago. That is, until now.

Charmin’s vision for a better bathroom experience extends into the future to address top potty pain points everyone can relate to:

  • RollBot– RollBot is a first-of-its-kind robot that, when controlled with a smartphone using Bluetooth, delivers a fresh roll of Charmin to you so you won’t have to be left in a bind ever again. Its futuristic design uses self-balancing technology to give it a morebear-morphouslook.
  • SmellSense– An electronic sensor monitoring system that lets you plan ahead and check how the bathroom smells without having to experience it yourself. It is calibrated to detect carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide found in a*toot*or*two*.SmellSense notifies you via a GO/NO GO display on the status of the stench and when it’s safe to go in.
  • V.I.Pee– A premium porta-potty experience enhanced with Oculus Rift S VR that will transport aGOer missing out on any moment – whether it be an event or concert – to the front row so you never miss a beat while on the seat. You can pick up right where you left off before the call of nature rolled in, with the bathroom being the best seat in the house.

“At Charmin, we’re always on a mission to bring people a better bathroom experience, and while that starts with the best TP, Charmin GoLab allows us to finally expand beyond just the seat,” said Rob Reinerman, Charmin Brand Director. “The concepts we’re bringing to CES are a playful way to showcase our relentless obsession with helping people Enjoy the Go now and into the future.”

Charmin GoLab will be located in the Procter & Gamble (P&G) LifeLab exhibit from January 7-10, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST. The P&G LifeLab, in its second year at CES 2020, gives consumers an immersive look at the intersection of P&G’s deep and meaningful consumer knowledge, and the category-changing innovations that define its brands.

  • RollBot– RollBot is a first-of-its-kind robot that, when controlled with a smartphone using Bluetooth, delivers a fresh roll of Charmin to you so you won’t have to be left in a bind ever again. Its futuristic design uses self-balancing technology to give it a morebear-morphouslook.
  • SmellSense– An electronic sensor monitoring system that lets you plan ahead and check how the bathroom smells without having to experience it yourself. It is calibrated to detect carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide found in a*toot*or*two*.SmellSense notifies you via a GO/NO GO display on the status of the stench and when it’s safe to go in.
  • V.I.Pee– A premium porta-potty experience enhanced with Oculus Rift S VR that will transport aGOer missing out on any moment – whether it be an event or concert – to the front row so you never miss a beat while on the seat. You can pick up right where you left off before the call of nature rolled in, with the bathroom being the best seat in the house.

“At Charmin, we’re always on a mission to bring people a better bathroom experience, and while that starts with the best TP, Charmin GoLab allows us to finally expand beyond just the seat,” said Rob Reinerman, Charmin Brand Director. “The concepts we’re bringing to CES are a playful way to showcase our relentless obsession with helping people Enjoy the Go now and into the future.”

Charmin GoLab will be located in the Procter & Gamble (P&G) LifeLab exhibit from January 7-10, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST. The P&G LifeLab, in its second year at CES 2020, gives consumers an immersive look at the intersection of P&G’s deep and meaningful consumer knowledge, and the category-changing innovations that define its brands.
