This video is about the technologies in the fibre industry to produce tissue.
Video in review: Scott Whicker works at Kimberly Clark Australia Millicent as the Mill Manager in Millicent, SA. The company produces a range of tissue products for Australia and New Zealand. The different wood produces different the pulp – long fibre from soft wood (e.g Pine), and hard wood produces short fibre (e.g eucalypt from Brazil). The pulp goes through different processing to manufacture different products.
