INGEDE – Research for Paper Recycling

As an association of leading European paper manufacturers, the International Research Association for Deinking Technology (INGEDE) was founded in 1989.

INGEDE’s mission is to foster light-colored waste paper recycling (newspapers and magazines) into new graphic paper and sanitary paper and improve the framework conditions for the increased use of waste paper. Still, the mixed waste paper collected in the Blue Bin has to be sorted into separately recyclable types to keep the white fibers in the cycle. White packaging is a potential raw material for new, light-colored papers.

GLOBAL RECYCLING – The Magazine for Business Opportunities & International Markets

The English-speaking GLOBAL RECYCLING Magazine is dedicated to business opportunities in the recycling industry and informs the readership about the international recycling market.

Thus, the magazine focuses on editorial coverage from the areas of international waste management, circular economy, and recycling industry. Nevertheless, the magazine does not disregard other topics such as waste paper, plastics as well as scrap and metal recycling. Additionally, every issue presents recycling processes, methods, and machinery.

Another of the magazine’s aims is to give more people access to these topics. Therefore, we attach great importance to distributing our publication at numerous international fairs, congresses, and conferences.

Apart from the visitors of these fairs, the readership of GLOBAL RECYCLING is made up of business owners, heads of departments, consultants, public authorities, and municipalities. These readers especially appreciate the various topics, which are touched upon in every issue by us.
