2009 FBA/TAPPI Productivity and Waste Survey

The Fibre Box Association (FBA), in conjunction with the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI), have recently released the biennial Productivity and Waste Survey. This survey provides useful benchmarking data that is otherwise unavailable from any other source. With the information provided in this report, companies can evaluate their productivity, waste and starch consumption data against participating plants. Surveying top performers, it includes information on machinery and labor operations, as well as waste from box plants from primarily U.S. operations as well as several international plants.

This year, the reporting on large width corrugators has been simplified. The report now includes four breakout categories for corrugators that are 78 inches and smaller, 79 inches to 90 inches, 91-100 inches and 100 inches and larger – making it easier to see direct comparisons.

Company participation in the 2009 report has increased since the last report in 2007, with 43 participating companies with over 350 plants 6 different countries.
