Deinkability test methods Newspapers and magazines in Europe are mainly based on papers manufactured from mechanical pulp and deinked pulp, so-called wood-containing papers. The most efficient deinking processes for these paper products are in an alkaline environment. Therefore, deinkability tests developed also assume alkaline deinking conditions. INGEDE was the first and only association which established
