New Fibre Based Packaging Materials
There is a great need to find circular, low carbon footprint packaging solutions for various branches of the society. The Single Use Plastics (SUP) directive from 2019 promotes circular solutions that give priority to sustainable and non-toxic re-usable systems and products rather than to single used products. One of the main objectives with the Directive is to reduce the use of plastics in single use items, where plastics are defined as chemically modified polymers. Natural polymers are, however, not covered by the Directive as they are found naturally in the environment. The definition of a natural polymer is a polymer that is formed in nature with limited chemical modification by humans. In this study a number of fibre-based materials that are based on natural polymers and can be used for packaging are presented. General potential and limitations of natural polymers in terms of barrier properties are discussed. Finally, different technologies for applying natural polymers on fibre-based substrates are assessed.

Building Reliability in Pulp and Paper Mills: Mechanical Integrity of Fixed Equipment
Co-sponsored by the Project Management/Project Engineering Committee and the Young Professionals Division, this four-part series delivers a practical, integrated approach to improving safety, reliability, and performance in pulp and paper mills. The sessions progress from effective capital project execution, to maintaining mechanical integrity of fixed equipment, to applying Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) principles, and conclude with a panel discussion that connects these disciplines into a unified reliability program. Together, the series equips attendees with actionable strategies to enhance asset availability, mitigate risk, and optimize lifecycle costs. Mechanical integrity ensures that fixed equipment—such as tanks, pressure vessels, and boilers—is designed, operated, and maintained to contain process materials and prevent releases safely. This session examines corrosion as the primary damage mechanism influencing material selection in pulp and paper mills, highlighting common materials and situations where stainless steel limitations are exceeded. Attendees will learn about inspection methods, fitness-for-service evaluations, and both short- and long-term repair strategies to support safe and reliable operations.
