Genpak: Sustainable and Profitable thanks to WEIMA Shredder - WEIMA Maschinenbau The location in Montgomery, Alabama recently invested in a WEIMA WLK 10 single-shaft shredder in order to process paper waste and reintegrate it back into their production line. The Process In an effort to save money on virgin materials and to be more environmentally responsible, Genpak began collecting the paper waste produced during the production of soufflé cups, or cone-shaped cups. This waste is combined in a specific—but proprietary—ratio with virgin fiber and then conveyed into a WEIMA WLK 10 to be shredded. Once the material is shredded and thoroughlymixed, it is then conveyed out of the shredder room in order to be further processed into a line of plates and to-go containers. Genpak’s food packaging
