Energy efficient innovation in Europe
With innovation and ingenuity, we're making our mills eco-effective—reducing waste, emissions and maximising material and resource use at every opportunity. This story brings you on a European tour of some of our eco-effective energy actions in 2021.
Combining forces to use waste heat
Combining forces to use waste heat at Gratkorn Mill

Ultracast Viva™ sets a new standard for sustainability from North America
We’re unlocking the chemistry of trees to meet the challenges of a carbon-constrained world. 
Closing raw material loops
The circular economy is regenerative by design and aims to gradually decouple growth from the consumption of finite resources.
How paper is made
While the basics of papermaking process has changed very little over the centuries, woodfibre only became the main raw material for mass paper production in the mid-19th century. The key advantage of using woodfibre is that it is a natural renewable resource.
In the black
Black liquor, a by-product of the pulping process is sometimes referred to as ‘black gold’ because of the high levels of energy it contains.
Unlocking the power of blockchain for sustainable packaging
With Project Trado, we're exploring the use of blockchain technology to enhance the sustainability of the global supply chain for packaging solutions.
