Capital Plast KZ builds recycled paper and board mill in Aktobe
Kazakh company Capital Plast KZ is constructing a new mill in Aktobe to make corrugating medium and testliner from recovered paper, the regional administration said. The plant, costing about KZT 10.3bn, is due to open in 2027 and will employ more than 300 people once at full capacity.
Why this mattersNew recycled-fibre capacity reduces reliance on imported containerboard and gives Kazakhstan's corrugated sector a local source of recovered-paper-based materials.
- Investment is approximately KZT 10.3 billion
- Plant opening is planned for 2027
- More than 300 jobs expected once the plant reaches full capacity
- Planned output is up to 18,000 tonnes per year of corrugating paper
- Planned output is up to 24,000 tonnes per year of testliner board
- A boiler house is already built; foundation and pile work is underway
- State recycling-fee operator Jasyl Damu is financing the Aktobe plant
