Stora Enso Makes an Environmental Investment in Sweden

"We always strive to use as much of the wood as possible, to find new uses for our by-products, and to minimise our environmental footprint," says Margareta Sandström, Environmental Manager at the Skoghall Mill.

The project consists of three larger pools for more efficient sedimentation, along with associated process and control systems. Work is due to start immediately and is expected to continue until early 2020.

"This is another example of an environmentally sustainable investment which, even at start-up, has a direct positive impact. It's also a key element of the continued development of the Skoghall Mill," says Hans Olsson, Head of Technology and Investments at Skoghall Mill.
