    GDM Develops Green Concept

    Machinery supplier groups sustainable solutions for every step of the manufacturing supply chain

    Through its commitment to sustainability, and by deeply investigating its customers’ needs, GDM announces the development of a machine “green concept” that puts together all GDM solutions, propelling sustainability in every step of the manufacturing supply chain.

    Raw materials
    Less material, better core performances
    GDM's Extra Thin Core allows savings of up to 800 k€ per year: a 40% saving on core materials (fluff & SAP, compared to previous core formation process), thanks to an optimized mix and allocation featuring permanent channels construction, for an outstanding wetness distribution.

    Alternatives for core and topsheet
    Bamboo, eucalyptus, banana and cotton are driving the raw materials global trend in sustainability: GDM’s converting and packaging solutions are set-up to handle fibers other than from softwoods, more sustainable and with a lower environmental impact. 

    Waste reduction with Option Zero
    Option Zero is GDM's cutting-edge program aiming to minimize any sort of waste in the converting process and to maximize its related savings. According to a customer's needs, the focus is on:
    • Zero Waste: enabling the elimination of trims, thanks to the “zero waste” product design, customers can save up to 30% on nonwovens material used in Rear Wings process
    • Zero Defects: matching market needs for premium quality products, reducing defects costs and boosting sales and earnings
    • Zero Glue: reducing the total amount of construction glue up to 10%, through ultrasonic bonding technology, GDM can also minimize glue contamination in the final product
    • Zero Time: customers can cut by half their size changeover time, thanks to GDM's patented Linear Motion technology, eliminating hardware replacement and set-up

    Energy saving
    Extra Thin Core saves up to 40% of power consumption
    The new Extra Thin Core formation process has been designed to minimize the use of air for fluff and SAP convey. The resizing of the suction fan of the forming wheel and the mill redesign have further contributed to the reduction of energy consumption up to 40% compared to the traditional version.

    Space management
    Thinner products, lighter shipping expenses
    Thanks to Extra Thin Core, diapers are thinner compared to those with a standard core formation, thus reducing the package size: 25% more space available on the shelf and in the stockroom.

    Spare parts management reducing vehicles’ emissions
    GDM has created a central warehouse and local stocks to reduce its customers’ on-site inventory stock value and fixed working capital investment up to 30% per year, while optimizing maintenance planning. The result is twofold: delivery time within 48 hours and polluting gas emissions reduction associated to spare parts logistics.
