Fardem Packaging Invests In Absolute Upgrade Five years after its first introduction to Absolute — creators of Carbon Fibre print chamber system — Fardem Packaging bv is investing heavily in addition- al Absolute equipment at its Edam site in the Nether- lands. Not only is the company upgrading existing machines, it is also installing Absolute chambers on new machines. Fardem was established 125 years ago and focuses on heavy duty packaging predominantly for the chemical, fertilizer, animal feed and food industries. The company also manufactures specialised poly- thene films for the business-to-business sector. Since the company’s upgrade project began in 2011, it has installed a total to 65 chambers to date. UPM Raflatac Launches Brazil Reforestation Project The Atlantic Forest that hugs the coastal areas of Brazil is one of the country’s most environmentally threatened biomes. UPM Raflatac will be contribut- ing to the protection of this vital ecosystem by part- nering on a one-hectare reforestation project of the Jaguari River. UPM Raflatac has teamed up with the Prefeitura Municipal de Jaguariúna, Ambev, The Nature Conser- vancy, Associação Mata Ciliar, Embrapa-Meio Ambi- ente,Agência das Bacias PCJ and Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA) for this reforestation project along a Permanent Protection Area of the Jaguari River in the city of Jaguariúna, where UPM Raflatac Brazil is head- quartered and operates a terminal supporting the South American market. The project kicked off on Wednesday, October 5 with a special tree planting event attended by UPM Raf latac employees and local students. Part of the city of Jaguariúna’s “Programa Bacias Jaguariúna”, which creates partnerships with compa- nies located there, the Brazil Reforestation Project will create a riparian buffer zone along the Jaguari River, which supplies 95 percent of the water supply to the nearby city. Riparian buffers help improve water quality by preventing pollutants from reaching a river or stream, and by planting 1,666 native Mata Atlantic species trees, construction of fences along the re- covered area, and continued maintenance, the river will flow cleaner than ever before. It is expected the project will last for two years, due to wildfire prevention, soil treatment, irrigation, and growth of the planted trees.
