Ehingen Mill

The Ehingen plant, nestled on the banks of the Danube in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, makes both pulp and papers and is renowned for being the world’s first chlorine-free bleaching plant.

Operating a 250 m-long production line, the mill produces 150,000 tons of chlorine-free pulp. The majority of this is used in manufacturing a range of graphic and packaging paper. Around 280,000 tons a year are produced – the equivalent of 1,500km of paper a day, enough to stretch from Berlin to Rome.

 

Papers come with velvety, smooth or matte finishes, in grammages ranging from 90 to 200 g/m2. The papers are designed for high performance and are used in premium magazines, catalogues and art books across 100 countries.

 

Sappi Ehingen Mill plays an active part in the local community – in particular, it has formed strong educational partnerships with schools and supports the technical university in Munich through offering internships, vocational experiences and apprenticeships.

 

Alongside implementing Sappi’s corporate policy of sustainability and environmental protection, the mill has introduced its own innovations. These include measures to increase the amount off biogenic fuels used in energy production as well as ways to reduce water consumption. Many of these improvements result from ideas submitted by employees.
