Add 4% MFC (produced using FiberLean G250 grinder)
Reduce basis weight to lower fibre consumption
Maintain tissue properties and performance
Study Results
The trial demonstrated that lightweighting with MFC can deliver strong cost and material savings.
Basis weight reduced from 21 g/m² to 19 g/m²
Fibre consumption significantly reduced
Overall cost efficiency improved
FiberLean MFC Case Study for Tissue
Study Outcomes
4% MFC successfully incorporated
2 g/m² reduction in basis weight
10% reduction in pulp usage
Product specification maintained
Estimated cost savings: 30–40 EUR per tonne
Key Takeaway
MFC enables tissue producers to reduce fibre usage and costs while maintaining product quality – making lightweighting a highly effective optimisation strategy.
