“…Corrugated board is a type of sandwich structure with individual alternating layers consisting of flat and corrugated papers [ 6 ], the most often used cardboards ranging from two to seven layers. The profile of the corrugated layer, called fluting, is classified by the letters A (the tallest flute height), B, C, E, and F (the lowest flute height).…”

Recently, AI has been used in industry for very precise quality control of various products or in the automation of production processes through the use of trained artificial neural networks (ANNs) which allow us to completely replace a human in often tedious work or in hard-to-reach locations. Although the search for analytical formulas is often desirable and leads to accurate descriptions of various phenomena, when the problem is very complex or when it is impossible to obtain a complete set of data, methods based on artificial intelligence perfectly complement the engineering and scientific workshop. In this article, different AI algorithms were used to build a relationship between the mechanical parameters of papers used for the production of corrugated board, its geometry and the resistance of a cardboard sample to edge crushing. There are many analytical, empirical or advanced numerical models in the literature that are used to estimate the compression resistance of cardboard across the flute. The approach presented here is not only much less demanding in terms of implementation from other models, but is as accurate and precise. In addition, the methodology and example presented in this article show the great potential of using machine learning algorithms in such practical applications.

“…In Table 6, some mechanical and optical characteristics of papers manufactured with CF and secondary fibers (SF) blends were presented. Corrugated cardboard papers production in the world is generally carried out by using the pulp obtained from the recycling of waste papers (Barbash & Yashchenko, 2020;Pereira et al, 2020). Fibers recovered from waste paper are called secondary fibers in the literature, and typically the hornified fibers shorten in length and lose their flexibility and take on a rigid structure (Yin et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2017).…”

In this study, the evaluability of chickpea stalks generated after harvest in chickpea production was investigated in pulp and paper production. Also, paper production was carried out by blending the chickpea stalk fibers with primary and secondary fibers in certain proportions and the effects of chickpea stalk fibers on the paper properties were determined. The modified kraft method was used in the pulping of chickpea stalks and anthraquinone (AQ) was added to the cooking liquor as a catalyst. Some chemical, mechanical and optical properties of the pulps produced with the addition of different AQ charges were compared and the 0.7% AQ added cooking experiment gave the best results. The yield and viscosity values of the chickpea stalk pulps increased by 12.6% and 34.2%, respectively and the kappa number decreased by 46.7% with the addition of 0.7% AQ to cooking liquor. Paper production was carried out by blending the fibers obtained from an optimum cooking condition with primary and secondary fibers at certain rates and the effects of chickpea stalk fibers on the paper properties were examined. Depending on the amount of chickpea stalk fibers, the mechanical properties of the papers produced with secondary fibers and the optical properties of the papers produced with primary fibers improved. The strength losses that occur during the recycling of waste paper could be reduced by blending the chickpea stalk fibers with secondary fibers and it is possible to produce various paper types such as writingprinting paper by blending the short fiber chickpea stalk fibers and long fibers.

“…In other words, the adoption of a sustainable strategy allows more efficient use of resources, better cost results, and reduces adverse impacts on people and the environment. There are several methods that facilitate sustainable practices, one of these is lean production [6][7][8][9][10]. It is a methodology that aims at maximum efficiency through eliminating all those activities with no added value and that are a source of waste and costs.…”

This work presents a manufacturing case study focused on reducing waste in a corrugated paperboard packaging company located in Italy. Corrugated paperboard is the primary material used in transporting, distributing, and storing many products, particularly food productions. The project started in September 2020 with the aim of identifying the causes of some waste along the production process and the consequent planning of actions to reduce them. This project was implemented following the logic of lean manufacturing through the use of the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology. The quality control tools for continuous improvement of the manufacturing process are used. The results achieved by the plant are significant in terms of economic and environmental sustainability. From an economic point of view, the measures implemented have allowed the plant to achieve, in the period between September 2020 and March 2021, a decrease from 10% to 9% of the percentage of the waste with a cost reduction approximately of € 17,000 for each of the first three months of 2021. From an environmental point of view, waste reduction is one of the objectives underlying the sustainability strategy adopted by the company, which has long been committed to the responsible management of its production processes to reduce its environmental impact.
