Södra Cell: Starting production of DuraPulp

Södra Cell is to start producing and selling the biodegradable composite material DuraPulp at its Värö mill in Sweden. Production is scheduled to commence after the summer.

 

 “DuraPulp is a material that is making a very timely appearance. It can replace plastics in many applications but it has the distinct advantage of being biodegradable. The time is right to begin producing and selling this material,” commented Henrik Wettergren, business area manager for Printing Paper and Specialities.

Initially, sales of DuraPulp will focus on the business areas of speciality paper, design and board. “We believe that our customers will come from these three business areas. We will begin with small-scale production but we’re prepared to increase production to match demand,” Wettergren added.
