INDUSTRY NEWS 13 Flying Iggesund’s folding food boxes

S


candinavian Airlines (SAS) recently introduced a new food container made from


for Malmö Aviation. “We chose Incada from Iggesund


because of its stiffness and we coated the inside with a barrier of black- dyed polyethylene. The packaging’s outside was printed black and we then put a lot of effort into finding a transparent film that captured a minimum of condensation in order


to create the best possible visual impression of the food,” explains Tony Norén of Elanders. Incada is made at Iggesund


Paperboard’s mill at Workington, England. There, Iggesund has radically changed its energy supply from fossil natural gas to biomass with a new £108 million CHP power plant.


Sonoco’s Newport mill awarded for landfill waste reduction


Diversified packaging giant Sonoco has given its Newport, Tennessee, paper mill a Sustainability Star Award for its efforts in “significantly” cutting waste going to landfill. The award is said to be a milestone in Sonoco’s efforts


to meet a landfill-free goal that started at the end of 2012, when the Newport mill partnered with local recycling company TLR Solutions to process some of the more difficult-to-recycle by- products of the mill’s operations. These included bailing wire and


materials such as glass, staples and ceramics that are sorted from incoming paper fibre. “After the company announced


its goal of taking 10 percent of its facilities landfill free, we began efforts to eliminate the facility’s waste streams,” said Marty


Pignone, vice president of Paper North America at Sonoco. “The Newport paper mill has made significant advances-recycling almost 20 percent of waste that previously went to landfill each month – and we look forward to continuing those efforts.”
