Kuura textile fibre, which is made out of softwood pulp from the Äänekoski bioproduct mill, received a ‘Green Shirt’ rating based on the evaluation arranged by not-for-profit environmental organisation Canopy. Their annual Hot Button Ranking is a well-established tool used in the global textile and fashion industries to assess the sustainability of wood-based textile fibres.

The ‘Green Shirt’ rating, awarded to Kuura for the third consecutive year, requires a risk-free, transparent supply chain, and traceable raw materials, among others. Leading brand owners, in terms of environmental sustainability, exclusively source fibre from ‘Green Shirt’ producers.

Metsä Group’s Kuura textile fibre is based on a vision to offer the global textile and non-woven industries a new textile fibre with a reduced environmental footprint.

Elopak has announced plans to build its first U.S. production plant with the latest state-of-the-art technology for the production of Pure-Pak® cartons for liquid dairy, juices, plant-based products and liquid eggs.

The new production facility will be located in Little Rock, Arkansas and is expected to start production in the first half of 2025. It represents a significant investment for the region of around USD 70 million including the land, the building and the equipment.

In a statement, Elopak said, “Following the investment announcement in June 2023, the company has evaluated different financing opportunities and concluded to own and fully finance the plant on the balance sheet. Hence, the nominal cost of the investment will be recognized in the balance sheet instead of the discounted value of the lease payments, increasing the reported investment by around USD 15 million.”

This is economically more profitable for Elopak compared to partly leasing, which was assumed in June.

Nippon Paper announces liquid-packaging carton price revision

منتشرشده در by Maxwell

آذر

Nippon Paper Industries Co has announced price revision for liquid-packaging cartons for milk and beverages.

Product subject to price revisions includes all liquid-packaging cartons.

The markup will be 10% or more.

Timing of implementation is deliveries from April 1, 2024.

In a press release, Nippon Paper states:

“We implemented a price revision in April 2023. Since then, production costs, including labor, energy and material prices, have increased significantly, logistics costs have risen sharply associated with the 2024 problem, and the cost of imported materials has deteriorated markedly, caused by the further rapid and persistent depreciation of the yen. The future outlook is therefore expected to remain uncertain.

“We have been working harder than ever to reduce fixed costs, review our operating structure, and improve logistics. However, it has become extremely difficult to absorb the recent cost increases solely through self-help efforts, and we have decided that we have no choice but to revise our prices again”.

Why printed receipts still matter

منتشرشده در by Maxwell

آذر

Printed receipts are important for consumers and retailers alike. Here’s why.

Holiday spending is expected to increase as much as 4 percent this year. That may not sound like much, but Americans are on track to spend a record $960 billion celebrating the December holidays. For retailers and consumers alike, printed receipts can help make the season brighter.

Traditionally, Black Friday heralds the start of the holiday season, but for many, holiday spending is already in full swing, and it won’t stop until January, after the last gifts have been opened and any returns have been made. And despite what some anti-receipt advocates say, consumers overwhelmingly prefer to receive printed receipts with their purchases instead of digital receipts.

“In our recent consumer survey, we found that 76 percent of folks want some form of a printed receipt, or at least the option to choose a printed receipt,” says Andrea Forehand, Domtar’s director of sales for thermal POS. “Skip the Slip legislation has come up twice in California, and we’ve been successful in lobbying to prevent that legislation from becoming law because people do want the choice.”

MM Group Reduces and Refocuses Investments at Kwidzyn Mill in Poland

Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG (MM Group) has decided to significantly reduce the planned multi-year strategic investment project at its pulp and paper mill in Poland, MM Kwidzyn. The project will now focus investments on renewable energy, further pulp integration and product portfolio.

MM Group said the decision is due to “uncompetitive wood prices from the Polish State Forestry Monopoly and significantly reduced market demand for paper and cardboard products.”

In addition, MM Group has started discussions with employee representatives about a possible closure of the small paper machine (PM 3) for packaging kraft paper and about restructuring, which could lead to a reduction in the workforce of around 110 employees.

In April 2023, MM Group announced that it would invest EUR 660 million at MM Kwidzyn, which included a new recovery boiler and a new steam turbine; a second pulp line and a pulp dryer; and the conversion of paper machine 1 (PM1) from the production of copy paper to sack kraft paper.

PPWR – EU Parliament strikes a balance for circular packaging

منتشرشده در by Maxwell

آذر

The corrugated cardboard industry supports the European Commission’s intention “to reduce the negative environmental impacts of packaging and packaging waste while improving the functioning of the internal market” via the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Therefore, FEFCO welcomes the outcome of today’s European Parliament Plenary session vote on the legislation. The vote has established the way forward for a sustainable packaging industry. Notably, it sets ambitious provisions for circularity while preserving existing, well-functioning waste management systems and acknowledging the competitiveness of European businesses.

FEFCO now calls on the Council to follow the same direction to ensure the complementarity of recycling and reuse in the final PPWR legislation. The preservation of sustainable packaging industries, like corrugated cardboard, requires a balanced and realistic approach that secures competitiveness and harmonises the internal market. Corrugated cardboard is one of the most recycled packaging in Europe, with a recycling rate of over 90% and an average recycled content of 89%1 from a renewable source.

Corrugated cardboard packaging is a unique example of circularity and FEFCO member companies are dedicated to further improving the sustainability of packaging systems in the European Union. Eleni Despotou, Director General of FEFCO, said “The corrugated cardboard industry is committed to supporting the PPWR objectives while promoting circular packaging options for the benefit of the environment and society.”

Higher wood fiber costs for pulpmills worldwide in 2023

منتشرشده در by Maxwell

آذر

Global pulp prices have fallen steadily since late 2022, when they reached record highs. The most significant decline has been for hardwood pulp, traded at a substantial discount to softwood pulp. Global pulp inventories were down during the summer, and there were signs that the market tightened, and pulp producers were starting to see opportunities to move prices upward in the fourth quarter of 2023 following almost 12 months of declining pulp prices.

Despite declines in pulp prices over the past year, wood fiber costs have not experienced the same downward trend. On the contrary, tighter residual supply resulting from lower lumber production has kept wood chip prices high in many markets.
