Reduce waste

Recycled pulp is created by dissolving waste paper in water with the addition of a de-inking agent. In the flotation process for waste paper recycling, Kao's advanced surfactant technology plays a crucial role.

As waste paper dissolves in water and interacts with the de-inking agent, surfactants become key players in enhancing ink removal efficiency. Our products break down ink particles and improve their interaction with the air bubbles introduced during flotation. This ensures not only superior ink removal but also efficient foam control during the process.

Kao's expertise in surfactant technology synergizes with the flotation method, enhancing the de-inking process in waste paper recycling to achieve high-quality, clean pulp suitable for sustainable paper production.
