Valmet will supply three board machine rebuilds in North America. The customers remain confidential. The goals of the rebuilds are e.g. to increase production and the use of recycled and non-bleached fibers. The start-ups of the rebuilt board machines are scheduled for 2017 and 2018.

The orders are included in Valmet's fourth quarter of 2016 orders received. The value of the orders will not be disclosed. The combined value of these types of orders is typically valued at EUR 20-30 million.

"Due to large installed base of paper and board machines in North America and their ageing technology, the need for machine modernizations is quite constant. In number of cases, important reason for the modernizations is to increase energy and resource efficiency. This is also linked to the growing trend of lightweighting in board production. Additionally our customers want to increase the use of recycled and non-bleached fibers," comments Sales Director Jari Siitonen from Valmet.

All together these three deliveries will include modifications to two stock preparation systems and a modification to approach flow system, a number of modifications to the wet ends of the board machines, including a new headbox, and a rebuilt forming section, a new press section, a press section rebuild and modifications to two dryer sections.

Valmet will deliver a defibrator system to Luso Finsa in Portugal for their fiberboard production plant. The very first developed EVO-56 defibrator system was also ordered by the Finsa Group back in 2006 to its Padron mill in Spain and now they have rewarded Valmet with a repeat order. The system is scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2017.

Valmet EVO-56 defibrator

The order is included in Valmet's fourth quarter 2016 orders received.

"As we have had an EVO-56 defibrator for ten years we know that the system works well and it was natural to choose the same system also in this new project. The operational cost of the system is low and Valmet was able to handle the short delivery time we needed," says Manuel Mera Franqueiro, Technical Manager at Finsa.

"Finsa Group was the first customer to purchase our new EVO concept when we released it ten years ago. The now received repeat order is a proof of the customer satisfaction," says Jan Laredius, Senior Product Manager at Valmet.

Technical details about the order

The defibrator system is a Valmet EVO-56 type for 25 t/h of medium density fiberboard (MDF). The EVO system has many benefits as it has lowest electrical, steam, resin and water consumption for any given fiber quality on the market.

Iggesund Paperboard’s parent company, the Holmen Group, has gained a place on the Global 100, an index of the hundred most sustainable corporations in the world. Holmen ranks 21 and is the only company from the forest industry on the prestigious list.

The Global 100 list of the world's most sustainable corporations is announced each year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The index has been published by the Canadian analysis firm Corporate Knights since 2005 and is based on an overall assessment of how a company handles issues concerning resource management, employees and financial management. Almost 5 000 companies have taken part in the assessment, with the hundred best featuring on the Global 100 index.

"We are both proud and pleased to be on the Global 100 list as one of the most sustainable companies in the world. Holmen has taken a focused approach to sustainability issues for many years now. Being recognised and ranked highly by leading analysts is an acknowledgement of this work," says Lars Strömberg, Director of Sustainable and Environmental Affairs at Holmen.  

"This ranking is the result of dedicated work and the strategic choices and investments we've made for the future, which have reinforced our sustainability profile. There is no doubt that the forest has good prospects as a raw material, especially amid a transition to a bio-economy in which products made from fossil raw materials are being replaced with renewable alternatives," comments Henrik Sjölund, President and CEO of both Holmen and Iggesund Paperboard.

Reaching the position on Global 100 is especially important for Iggesund Paperboard. The company’s products, Invercote and Incada, are targeting the high end packaging segment where a good track record in sustainability is a valuable asset.

“We have been ranked high on indices like the UN Global Compact Index, Carbon Disclosure Project, and now the Global 100. To repeatedly be acknowledged by these well renowned indices  clearly shows that we are among the most sustainable companies in the world and is a recognition of the holistic and long term approach that characterizes our sustainability work”, says Johan Granås, Sustainability Communications Manager at Iggesund Paperboard.

Iggesund
Iggesund Paperboard is part of the Swedish forest industry group Holmen, one of the world’s 100 most sustainable companies listed on the United Nations Global Compact Index. Iggesund’s turnover is just over €500 million and its flagship product Invercote is sold in more than 100 countries. The company has two brand families, Invercote and Incada, both positioned at the high end of their respective segments. Since 2010 Iggesund has invested more than €380 million to increase its energy efficiency and reduce the fossil emissions from its production.

Iggesund and the Holmen Group report all their fossil carbon emissions to the Carbon Disclosure Project. The environmental data form an integral part of an annual report that complies with the Global Reporting Initiative’s highest level of sustainability reporting. Iggesund was founded as an iron mill in 1685, but has been making paperboard for more than 50 years. The two mills, in northern Sweden and northern England employ 1500 people.

Zelfo Technology (ZT) has reached an important milestone in its technical development program and will open an Engineered Fibre production and R&D unit in Schwedt, Northern Germany.

The company engineers cellulosic and ligno-cellulosic fibres from a wide range of sources including industrial, agricultural and horticultural waste streams to impart user specific fibre properties including a high degree of defibrillation thus multiplying the binding capability of the material by a factor of several thousand.

The engineered fibre products offered by Zelfo Technology include Micro Fibrillated Cellulose (MFC) which has been a widely talked about subject in recent years, resulting an incredible amount of scientific research and patents being registered. Such intensive activity in MFC has resulted as pulp producers look to find new uses for their prime product, cellulose, and because its foreseen applications are extremely wide in many industries. Zelfo Technology takes the subject one step further in producing controlled mixtures of macro, micro and nano scale fibres using a patented production process thereby dramatically extending the range of uses.

Zelfo Technology has been a pioneer in this kind of fibre engineering since 2010, focusing primarily on upgrading waste sources. The company is now committing to developing and producing packaging based fibre additives with, for example, immediate applications in the liner and fluting sectors.

Indications are that the use of a percentage of engineered corrugated container waste (OCC) can allow liner and fluting producers to make significant reductions in grammage, without negatively impacting on the end-product performance. “This means raw material savings, but this also and more importantly means a reduction of the weight of the final product, which has far more sustainable implications throughout the product’s lifecycle” says ZT CEO Richard Hurding.  Furthermore, engineered fibre can carry more filler and performance enhancing chemistry etc.

ZT is concentrating on the containerboard market as it is primarily driven by increasing industrial and manufacturing activity. Better transportation and shipment facilities, improved durability and strength of container boxes, as well as safety and aesthetics of the packaging are anticipated to be major drivers of the market. The growing demand for lightweight and innovative packaging is also driving the global containerboard market, as eco-friendly and recyclable product specification obtained due to containerboard are forcing manufacturers and industries to use corrugated boxes.

Strong, lightweight and cost effective containerboards are anticipated to be the major opportunity criteria for the developing global containerboard market. “Forming strategic tie-ups with container box producers to produce industry specific products to penetrate in new application sectors is considered to be a major opportunity for the global containerboard market, and Zelfo Technology’s Engineered Fibres allow such opportunities to become a reality, not in the future, but today” says ZT’s Technical Director Trevor Dean. “Imagine the impact of grammage reduction on this over 200 billion m2 market!”. This figure comes from 2013 and is expected to keep growing in the years to come.

The Schwedt location “will allow ZT to be part of the pulp and paper ecosystem” continues Richard Hurding, “because we will be operating alongside the EMFOS GmbH (European Moulded Fibre Operation Services) independent packaging R&D Centre and are situated in between the two Leipa Paper facilities, which combined form the biggest paper and packaging production site in Germany”. ZT will continue to offer tailor-made developments to its clients both with cellulose and ligno-cellulosic materials.

The throughput with OCC has now reached 1,5 tonnes per day thanks to the latest process developments patented in summer 2016 and this therefore allows ZT to transform waste carton board into high quality fibres for reinforcement and binder applications. Sample quantities are available for testing and pre-industrial quantities can be supplied.

The same type of throughput can be reached with many agro-materials and agro-wastes, giving growers the possibility to turn a waste disposal cost into a potential revenue while contributing to circular economy principles. This is particularly well illustrated by the partnership ZT has with bio-packaging company Bio-Lutions GmbH ( www.bio-lutions.com ).

Stora Enso has initiated a process with the Government of Guangxi with the target to remove the authorisation for the hardwood chemical pulp mill from its investment permit. Stora Enso has previously announced that it considers building a chemical pulp mill at its Beihai Mill site, once the consumer board machine is up and running. The final decision is still subject to the decision of Stora Enso’s Board of Directors.

“The market demand for high-quality food packaging board will continue to grow in China and neighbouring Asian markets. Our investment in a consumer board mill in Beihai is ideally placed to serve this market. Meanwhile, the supply-demand of the global pulp market has been negatively impacted by new investments in hardwood pulp production. At the same time, we consider the wood costs to supply the potential chemical pulp mill to be too high, which reduces the competitiveness of such a mill. Therefore, sourcing the chemical pulp to Beihai Mill from the market or utilising our current captive global hardwood supply is a viable option for us,” says Stora Enso’s CEO Karl-Henrik Sundström.

This decision would not affect Stora Enso’s operations at Beihai Mill, which cover the consumer board machine with an annual capacity of 450 000 tonnes, a polyethylene extrusion (PE) coating line and a bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp (BCTMP) plant. Stora Enso’s current investment permit covers also a second board machine at the site in Beihai, but the group has not made any decisions regarding it.

As a consequence of the change in scope, Stora Enso would decrease the area of its leased forest lands in the Guangxi region. The scope and schedule for the reduction of fibre base will be decided later. The group will keep parts of the plantations to supply raw material for the BCTMP plant. Stora Enso leases currently some 84 000 hectares of forest land in the region.

Stora Enso is a leading provider of renewable solutions in packaging, biomaterials, wooden constructions and paper on global markets. Our aim is to replace fossil based materials by innovating and developing new products and services based on wood and other renewable materials. We employ some 26 000 people in more than 35 countries, and our sales in 2015 were EUR 10.0 billion. Stora Enso shares are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki (STEAV, STERV) and Nasdaq Stockholm (STE A, STE R). In addition, the shares are traded in the USA as ADRs (SEOAY). storaenso.com

Launched last year, PERGRAPHICA® is Mondi’s portfolio of premium uncoated fine papers designed for the exacting needs of the creative and commercial print industries. Since then, it has won the admiration of many in the graphic design and printing industries across Europe. To celebrate the success of this new portfolio, Mondi sponsored awards in two print & design competitions: the Joseph Binder Award and the Golden Pixel Award.

The Joseph Binder Award is an international competition focused on graphic design and illustration. More than 300 graphic designers and illustrators from 27 countries entered their projects for the 2016 awards, which were presented on 10 November at an awards ceremony in Vienna. (More information and pictures from the event can be found on the Joseph Binder Award Facebook page.)

As sponsor of the award category for ‘Editorial Design Books’, Mondi presented the trophy to gold award winner Konstantin Eremenko of Eremenko Visual Communication agency. He won for a fascinating book project called ‘Rediscovering’, a visual interpretation of the periodic table of the elements in the chronological order of their discovery. Mr Eremenko commented, “My challenge as a graphic designer was to find a new way of visually explaining epistemological knowledge. The haptic effect was quite important for the combination of paper texture and multi-layered silkscreen printing.”

The Golden Pixel Award recognises progressive and innovative printing projects in Austria. In 2016 Mondi sponsored the category for ‘(Multi)sensory Projects’ and presented the award at the ceremony in November. The winning project was the HoHo brochure, produced by printing house Ferdinand Berger and Sons for their client Kerbler Holding. Commenting on the paper choice, Mario Vucic of Ferdinand Berger and Sons said, “It is not only the haptics of the paper – the visual and olfactory effects should also have an immediate impact. Only then are all elements joined through the symbiosis of the material and the print craftsmanship to produce a virtual work of art.”

Caroline Palfy, project leader for the HoHo brochure at Kerbler Holding, was pleased with the award-winning result: “The haptic experience – from the cover to the last page – is simply magnificent!”
