The 100% paper design of the charity's iconic poppy will be available from this year's Poppy Appeal onwards

James Cropper, specialist papermaker based in the English Lake District, has collaborated on the creation of the Royal British Legion’s new plastic-free poppy that’s now made entirely from paper.

Working with the Royal British Legion (RBL), and design consultancy Matter, James Cropper is proud to have co-created the poppy which will reduce carbon emissions by 40 per cent. It is free from single-use plastic and can be recycled in ordinary paper recycling collections.

The design is part of the charity’s commitment to reducing single-use plastic in all its activities in a drive to be economical, sustainable, and less impactful to the environment. The new poppy maintains the iconic poppy design and leaf shape and can be fastened with a pin, inserted into a buttonhole, or stick on versions are available.

Marking 45 years of partnership with the RBL, the paper provided for the new design is made from a blend of renewable fibres from responsible sources, 50 per cent of which has been recovered from paper coffee cup production via James Cropper’s CupCycling facility in Cumbria.

Steve Adams, Chief Executive Officer at James Cropper, said: “Every year since 1978, red and green papers made at our paper mill are transformed into millions of poppies for the annual Poppy Appeal that continues to provide vital support to the Armed Forces community.

“Although we are involved each year, we never take for granted what this symbol means to so many families and the country as a whole. Everyone at James Cropper is very proud of our long-standing involvement in the production of the paper poppy, worn the world over as a symbol of respect and remembrance.”

The original paper poppy design was first produced in the 1970s. A request went out to paper mills for assistance in finding a bleed-free paper, and the partnership between James Cropper and the RBL began. James Cropper now delivers over three miles (5km) of narrow red and green paper rolls, which are made into millions of poppies, to the RBL and Poppyscotland’s poppy factories every year.

The Royal British Legion’s Executive Director of Marketing, Fundraising and Remembrance, Gary Ryan said, “We're proud to have designed a plastic-free poppy that will enable people to show their support for our Armed Forces community in a more sustainable way. We are thankful to our long-standing supplier James Cropper who developed the innovative paper used in the new poppy. The company’s industry-leading technology which reuses waste from the manufacture of coffee cups has ensured the iconic poppy is now made entirely from responsibly sourced materials. The Royal British Legion provides a lifeline for serving personnel, veterans and their families facing hardship, injury and bereavement. We hope our new plastic-free poppy, which will be available alongside existing poppy stocks, will encourage people to support the Poppy Appeal this year and help us continue our vital work.”

John MacDonald, Design Director at Matter said: “We didn’t want to simply reduce single use plastic, but to eliminate it completely. Paper offered a single-material solution that could be easily recycled, as well as offering a bold, elegant approach for the next generation of poppies. When applied well, paper is such a beautiful material. The new poppy uses papers entirely bespoke to the RBL, with print finish details that lift 3D form and deliver a quality that the remembrance occasion deserves.”

With sustainable solutions at the heart of the James Cropper mission, the new poppy contributes to its vision to drive growth of upcycled fibre within the company’s paper products to 50 per cent by 2025: pioneering materials to safeguard our future.

James Cropper’s FibreBlend Upcycled Technology model organises the plethora of fibre blend options available to customers into a clear offer, demonstrating the limitless expertise available to them. From the world’s first technology to upcycle used coffee cups to the industry leading incorporation of used jeans into fully recyclable paper for packaging - transforming waste into beautiful paper and packaging is at the core of the FibreBlend Upcycled Technology mission.

The plastic-free poppy will be available for the 2023 Poppy Appeal alongside remaining stocks of the current poppy, which can be returned to Sainsbury’s stores for recycling.

Saudi Paper Group (SPG) has started up a Toscotec-supplied AHEAD 2.2 tissue machine and OPTIMA slitter rewinder at its Dammam mill in Saudi Arabia. The new machine (PM2) is already producing high quality tissue.

The AHEAD 2.2 line has a sheet trim width of 2,850 mm, a maximum operating speed of 2,100 m/min, and an annual production capacity of over 30,000 tons. Equipped with Toscotec’s upgraded shoe press design TT NextPress, a third-generation TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryer with patented deckle head insulation, and high efficiency TT Hood, the tissue machine ensures optimal energy efficiency. Toscotec also supplied the stock preparation system and its patented Short Approach Flow with double dilution, which guarantees a further reduction of electrical consumption.  

In 2022, SPG placed a new order with Toscotec for the full-on turnkey supply of a new tissue line, including an AHEAD 2.2L machine (PM5) and two OPTIMA 2600L slitter rewinders. The project is slated to add 65,000 tons to the group’s annual capacity in 2024. 

Mohamed Abdelghaffar, SPG Group Operations Director, says, “We are very pleased with this successful start-up, and with Toscotec’s ability to manage the entire project with flexibility and competence. We expect to quickly achieve excellent performances on PM2 both for tissue quality and production efficiency. SPG’s project team is already working with Toscotec on the engineering phase of PM5, our new, double-width AHEAD tissue line. We are happy to continue this partnership, taking together another important step in our growth strategy.”

Andrea Paganucci, Toscotec Project Manager, says, “The good cooperation between SPG and Toscotec throughout the entire project could only result in a successful outcome. Considering that Toscotec’s new line replaced an older machine in an existing building, we’ve faced a few challenges linked to space restraints of the plant layout. This is when Toscotec’s well-known flexibility can really shine bright: the customized design we delivered has effectively resolved all these issues. We look forward to continuing this close partnership on SPG’s second Toscotec machine.”

PulPac demonstrates efficiency, expands product and barrier portfolio – enabling the network to offer a limited series of production lines with fast-tracked delivery, with production warranties.

Breaking efficiency records on demonstrator line and expanding product portfolio. Swedish innovative packaging company, PulPac, and its partner network are ready to offer production warranties, including a limited batch of ready-to-order production lines with fast-tracked delivery in six months.

PulPac reports multiple breakthroughs from within its partner network and across its Dry Molded Fiber technology platform. In a recent multi-shift production run for one of its licensees, PulPac reached an 85% equipment efficiency with its first-generation pilot Modula line at its technology center in Sweden.

"We know the Modula well and know of its capabilities, but numbers like these prove that the Dry Molded Fiber manufacturing process is reliable and scalable," says Kristian Ward, Operations Manager at PulPac. "The team here at the tech center, TechTribe, and everyone else involved has worked hard to achieve extraordinary results like these. I'm certain we'll improve the efficiency even more as the Modula platform already has ordered second-generation production lines that are entering production worldwide with our licensees."

Together with recommended EU turnkey partner, TechTribe, PulPac has secured fast-track delivery for a limited batch of validated production lines. These production lines are ready for order in May and can be shipped within six months, enabling customers to expand their sustainable packaging journey quickly and with warranties.

PulPac's patented Dry Molded Fiber technology is a groundbreaking manufacturing process for turning renewable pulp into high-performance packaging materials with a lower climate impact than wet-molding and plastic processing. The products are fully biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable, which is what packaging producers need to tackle the sustainability challenges they face.

At the same time, the team responsible for PulPac's Highway program confirms an expanded portfolio of validated, ready-to-produce, Dry Molded Fiber products. The Highway program now includes complete cutlery sets with multiple barrier solutions for hot and cold foods and complementing trays with new tableware designs, including a ≥45 mm deep salad bowl. The added groundbreaking coffee-lid solution with another barrier complements the portfolio with a cost-effective and scalable alternative to traditional single-use plastic lids, reducing the environmental impact of the beverages industry, with more than a hundred billion lids being consumed each year. These achievements collectively allow PulPac and its partner network to now offer production warranties within the highway program.

Sanna Fager elaborates: "Offering our customers a wider range of sustainable packaging solutions is a fantastic accomplishment. But to us, the expanded product portfolio with more barrier solutions shows PulPac's commitment to innovation and efficiency and the continued development of the technology and production line." And in conclusion, states, "We are confident that the products' performance, scalability, and environmental benefits will be game changers for our licensees and the packaging industry. Because this is what consumers want and what the planet needs.

Between May 4th–10th, PulPac showcases its technology at Interpack 2023 in Düsseldorf and invites customers to visit the home of Dry Molded Fiber at Stand 11D12 to learn more about packaging solutions available for licensing. Proven production lines with warranties are available from partners to fuel licensees' sustainability journey.
