Beverage carton recycling capacity to be tripled at mill in Poland
C
apacity to process used beverage cartons at Stora Enso’s Ostrołęka mill in Poland is being
tripled to 75,000 tonnes a year. Following a feasibility study, the paper maker is collaborating with carton manufacturer Tetra Pak in what will be an investment of almost €30 million, of which Stora Enso will contribute €17m for a repulping line that will recover the fibres, while Tetra Pak, along with Plastigram, will invest €12.1 million to build an additional line. This will recover and separately recycle the polymers and the aluminium, using a patented separation
Stora Enso’s Hannu Kasurinen: “Another important milestone towards the fully circular future”
technology. Both lines will be operational by the beginning of 2023.
The separated materials will be used as raw materials for various end applications. Recycled fibres
will be integrated into Stora Enso’s recycled board. The separated polymers and aluminium will be used for range of products, such as crates and foils. Hannu Kasurinen, executive
vice president of Stora Enso’s Packaging Materials division, explained: “Stora Enso delivers packaging materials produced from renewable sources. With this development we can advance towards a greater degree of recyclability, a critical factor in enabling a circular bio-economy. “We are delighted to join forces with Tetra Pak in what will be another important milestone towards the fully circular future we expect to realise. Moreover, as EU collection systems continue to evolve, the project holds potential to increase capacity for future excess volumes.”
