Resource value flow analysis of paper-making enterprises: A Chinese case study, Z Li et al, Journal of Cleaner Production , Vol.213. Papermaking enterprises are currently under both environmental pressure and economic pressure for sustainable development in China. Thus, the efficiency, effectiveness, and benefits of resource utilisation need to be improved. High-consumption and high-pollution companies should manufacture paper using sustainable methods. This study highlights a resource value flow analysis from the circular economy perspective, developing an extension of material flow cost accounting and modifying it by accounting for environmental damage as well as economic benefits. In general, applying a resource value flow analysis can both reduce resource consumption and minimise environmental damage, enhancing the sustainable development of a process industry with limited resources. LOGISTICS A Description of Supply Chain Planning Problems in the Paper Industry with Literature Review, Florian Jaehn & Raisa Juopperi, Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research , Vol.36 (1). The paper industry supply chain is highly complex and consists of many processes and planning tasks. It starts with the collection of raw wood and ends up in different paper products from paperboard to high class art papers. Managing the supply chain is difficult and the permanently changing business environment constantly brings new challenges. This paper starts with outlining the challenges in the supply chain management of today’s paper industry. After that we evaluate t he state of research to determine planning problems covered by the literature. The purpose is to catch up time-wise on the previous overview from 2009 and also to update the planning problems. This overview paper summarises comprehensively the paper industry as of today. It provides a reference work for researchers and other interested parties, and uncovers areas for future research. Warehouse Design and Operation using Augmented Reality technology: A Papermaking Industry Case Study, D Mourtzis et al, Procedia CIRP , Vol.79. In modern, high competitive markets, efficient warehousing is critical as it accounts for a great part of logistics costs. Companies try to adopt highly adaptive and flexible warehouse design that may support the integration of novel technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR). This paper proposes a framework for warehouse design which minimises inventory cost while keeping a high degree of service by supporting the integration of an AR warehousing system. The AR system will support the effective management of operations, by providing meaningful information. The proposed methodology is tested and validated in a real-life case study of a papermaking industry. MOULDED PULP Research on the Preparation and Properties of Water Resistant and Oil Resistant Paper Tableware Made by Bagasse Brown Pulp, Li Liu et al, Applied Sciences in Graphic Communication and Packaging , pp.609-615. Part of the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering book series (LNEE, Vol.477). Water-resistant and oil-resistant paper tableware has broad application prospects. The mechanism of water resistance and oil resistance properties of paper and the determination of oil resistance properties were introduced. The water/oil resisted paper was made of bagasse brown pulp by beating and adding oil-resistant agent, water-resistant agent and retention aid. The effects of water repellent, oil repellent and other factors on the oil and water repellency of paper tableware were studied.
