UPCOMING EVENTS

2025 Winter Webinar
On January 22nd, we will hold a webinar on Recovered Fiber Grades & Quality. Shawn State, President of Pratt Recycling at Pratt Industries, will discuss recovered fiber grades and quality trends.  He will be followed by Pat McEnroe, Product Group Director at Kadant Black Clawson, who will discuss process strategies to deal with contaminants in recovered fiber sources.

2025 Production-Technical Seminar
The event is May 4-7, 2025,  at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

This year,  the RPTA Seminar will be more integrated with the TAPPICon Conference.  RPTA members will register through RPTA and your registration will include all TAPPICon sessions and events, at a substantial savings over past years’ registration fees. 

RPTA will still recruit presentations on topics of current interest to our members:  Safer Operations, Product Strength Improvement Methods; and Waste Reduction. In addition, RPTA will host a two-hour mini-course on paper machine wet end chemistry, provided by a well-respected expert.
