    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a highly refined cellulose composition, comprising: i) providing a fiber fraction comprising 20-100 wt % fibers obtained from used beverage cartons (UBC) based on the total dry fiber weight of the fiber fraction, ii) optionally subjecting the fiber fraction to mechanical, chemical or enzymatic pre-treatment, or a combination thereof, iii) subjecting the optionally pre-treated fiber fraction to refining at a consistency in the range of 0.5-30% by weight to a Schopper-Riegler (SR) in the range of 50-100, as determined by standard ISO 5267-1, to obtain the highly refined cellulose composition.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a coated paperboard (10) for beverage container carriers (30) comprising: a paperboard substrate (12), a dispersion coating layer (18, 20) on each side (14, 16) of the paperboard substrate (12), wherein the paperboard substrate (12) comprises wet strength agents in an amount in a range from ≥0 wt % to ≤0.05 wt %, based on the dry solid content of the substrate (12) and sizing agents for making the paperboard (12) substrate more hydrophobic, wherein the sizing agents are present in an amount of ≥0.15 wt %, especially in a range from ≥0.15 wt % to ≤0.5 wt %, based on the dry solid content of the substrate (12). The invention further relates to a beverage container carrier (30) comprising or being made from the aforementioned coated paperboard (10).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a purified fiber fraction from used beverage carton (UBC), said method comprising the steps: a) subjecting UBC starting material to a polymer and aluminum film separation method to obtain a UBC polymer and aluminum fraction and a raw UBC fiber fraction; b) optionally subjecting the raw UBC fiber fraction to a coarse screening method to remove coarse particles; c) subjecting the raw UBC fiber fraction to a fine screening method to remove cellulose fines and fine particulate contaminants, wherein the fine screening method comprises at least one fine screening step and at least one washing step; d) optionally subjecting the fine screened UBC fiber fraction to a washing method to remove further contaminants; e) optionally subjecting the fine screened UBC fiber fraction to a bleaching method; f) subjecting the fine screened, and optionally bleached, UBC fiber fraction to a dewatering method to a consistency of at least wt %; and g) subjecting the dewatered UBC fiber fraction to deactivation to obtain a purified 20 UBC fiber fraction.
