Stora Enso, Tetra Pak Triple Recycling Capacity
Flexo Market News
Tetra Pak and Stora Enso have joined forces to triple the recycling capacity of beverage cartons in Poland. The two companies will partner to provide circular solutions to the market. The partnership, that follows a feasibility study, sees the introduction of a large-scale carton repulping line at Stora Enso’s Ostroleka production unit in Po- land. The line will triple the annual recycling capaci- ty of used beverage cartons in Poland from 25,000 to 75,000 tons. This will allow recycling of the entire volume of bev- erage cartons sold in the country and the ones coming from neighboring countries, including Hungary, Slova- kia and the Czech Republic. The total investment is EUR 29.1 million. Stora Enso will invest EUR 17 million into a new repulping line that will recover the carton fibers.Tetra Pak along with Plastigram will invest a total of EUR 12.1 million to build an additional line. It will recover and separately recycle the polymers and the aluminium, using a pat- ented separation technology. Both lines will be opera- tional in the beginning of 2023. The separated materials will be used as raw materials for various end applications. Recycled fibers will be integrated into Stora Enso’s recycled board.The sepa- rated polymers and aluminium will be given new life in the form of different kinds of products, such as pel- lets and foils. The investment aims to contribute to the develop- ment of a circular economy at a country level. It will be fully aligned with the European Green Deal. The collected cartons will be managed in an environmen- tally sound manner, making full use of the materials resulting from the recycling process.
