Stora Enso builds pilot facility for packaging foam material
28 August 2020 ` 17:11
Stora Enso will build a pilot facility for producing Cellufoam by Stora Enso, a lightweight, fiber-based foam material for protective packaging and cushioning. The pilot plant will be located at Stora Enso’s Fors Mill in Sweden. The sustainable packaging material is supposed to further increase Stora Enso’s opportunities to replace fossil-based materials with renewable and recyclable materials. The initial target application is the protective packaging of fragile products, for example in consumer electronics, but later also thermal insulation in shipments and other uses are possible.
It is estimated that the plant will be ready in the fourth quarter of 2021. Decisions about commercialisation will follow, after evaluating the results of the pilot-scale production.
