Resumen de Paper: the next evolution
"Filler levels are becoming increasingly important," [Monagle] told IM. "It's all driven economically. PCC is less expensive than pulp, so you can replace pulp with PCC up to a certain percentage." "In places like North America and Europe, PCC accounts for around 75-90% of the mineral that goes into paper. In Asia, it's still developing so you've got other minerals and carbonates, but basically PCC is 10-15% of what's going into there," he told IM.
"The investment for papermakers is minor. And when I say minor I mean very small, and it's an investment that works for us. I think that there's a matter of prioritisation in the things that they're doing but we've gotten great interest from our customers in Fullfill in these established regions," Monagle explained.
