Third generation
The third generation is joining the team.
Our environmental policy revolves around a continuous process of recycling cores. From used core to raw material for new cores:
- Used paper is pulped. This pulp is used to once again create paper and cardboard.
- The recycled cardboard is the basic raw material for the cardboard cores and tubes that Tubeco NV manufactures.
- All the materials released when manufacturing cardboard cores and tubes are collected and compressed into briquettes.
- Residual cardboard is collected and returned to the paper manufacturers.
