Insight

The rise in online shopping and delivery services, combined with consumer preferences for packaging materials that are produced in an ethical and responsible way, has had a major impact on the packaging industry. It's more important than ever to create quality packaging, but manufacturers must do so while minimizing environmental impact.

Innovation

To accomplish both goals, one of the world's largest paper and packaging manufacturers turned to its longtime partner Nalco Water, an Ecolab company.

Through expert service and a focus on process and quality improvements, Nalco Water has been instrumental in helping the company achieve process optimizations and sustainability savings for everything from bleaching and wash water processes to improving asset life, reliability and quality.

In 2018, Nalco Water identified an opportunity to help the company improve water use efficiency for a turbine condenser at a mill in the United States. This turbine generates nearly all of the plant's electricity and is a key part of the overall papermaking process. Nalco Water implemented 3D TRASAR™ Water Management Technology to help the turbine condenser operate more efficiently. The impact was two-fold: It optimized production and led to significant water savings. As a result, Nalco Water was able to save the company 132 million gallons of water a year.
