Introduction Correll Tissue is a subsidiary of the commercial printing and manufacturing Group Novus Holdings, which has a proven track record in Africa. Since acquiring Correll Tissue in 2014, the Group embarked on an extensive refurbishment and expansion project which is now nearing completion. Novus Holdings is positive about the tissue manufacturing sector and will continue to invest in its growth strategy for this division. As part of this growth plan, Novus Holdings has created a new position for a Managing Director. The position requires an independent thinker who acts as a business owner with strong entrepreneurial flair that can take a medium-sized business to reach its potential. The incumbent should have the strategic ability to develop and expand the business according to the set objectives agreed with the Group’s CEO. ANDRITZ will also supply the main components in the approach flow systems for the top, filler, and back layers at KM In order to significantly improve water management of the mill, a fiber recovery system with an ANDRITZ save-all Disc Filter will be installed. Two Sides publishes key results of global survey on the Attractiveness and Sustainability of Paper and Print. The recent issue of Paper360 (May/June) features consumer survey results on global attitudes towards paper and print, as well as toward corporate environmental claims promoting digital over paper-based communications. Paper and cardboard, produced in Brazil, has its origins in planted trees, a renewable resource. This paper can be recycled and transformed into new products. The video clearly presents the entire paper and recycling process; starting from the trees planted to produce paper to the transformation of correctly-disposed products into new ones. The video aims to teach consumers to be sure that packages are clean and dry before they are thrown in the recycling bin. TAPPSA National Conference and Exhibition (previously known as African Pulp and Paper Week) is held every three years in South Africa.
