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.
