The expansion of the mill would include the construction of a new paper machine, new converting lines, an automated warehouse and a new office building. The renewed mill will use best available technology (BAT) to ensure better environmental efficiency in terms of water, noise and air emissions. Our environmental efficiency goal is also supported by the doubling the fresh fiber production at the mill from 70 000 to 145 000 tonnes.
