01 Sep 2023 --- Nordic Paper is investing approximately SEK850 million (US$77 million) at its Bäckhammar mill in Sweden. The investment is said to improve the plant’s environmental sustainability performance and strengthen its competitiveness. The investment will provide a new wood room for strategic flexibility in raw material sourcing and production efficiency gains. A new electrostatic filter will also be installed at the mill, reducing dust emissions. “A new wood room will lead to efficiency gains in the production process. The installation of a new electrofilter will lead to substantially reduced emissions of dust to air from the Bäckhammar plant, a reduction of more than two thirds,” Henrik Essén, director for Sustainability and Communication at Nordic Paper, tells Packaging Insights.
