Tertiary cellulose, the solution
to the scarcity of raw materials
All products start with raw materials. At the moment these raw materials are becoming scarce. A few weeks ago the news started with the announcement of wood scarcity. A big problem that has recently found its way into the production of paper. Long delivery times and high prices plague more and more sectors. A recent survey of the Dutch bureau of statistics showed the problem in numbers. The outcome of the survey showed that the problems due to lack of raw materials are increasing drastically.
This year the pulp, paper and cardboard industry alone already observed 19% more hindrance by a lack of machines, space and/or raw materials. But this is only the beginning. More sectors, like the rubber and plastic manufacturing industry, perceive an increase of even more than 20% in hindrance compared to 2020. One thing is clear: primary raw materials are in scarcity and without raw materials, no production!
