Mayr-Melnhof completes continuous digester investment at MM Kwidzyn

Mayr-Melnhof has finished installing continuous cooking technology at its MM Kwidzyn integrated mill in Poland, now in operation. The new continuous digester is expected to cut annual wood consumption by around 50,000 cubic metres and, together with energy-efficiency measures, reduce the mill's annual CO2 emissions by about 100,000 tonnes, roughly a third of its total.

Why this mattersLower wood and carbon intensity at a major cartonboard and kraft paper mill strengthens Mayr-Melnhof's cost base and carbon-footprint claims to board and paper buyers.

• MM Kwidzyn in northern Poland has completed investment in continuous cooking technology, now operational.
• Annual wood consumption is expected to fall by around 50,000 cubic metres at unchanged output.
• Combined with energy-efficiency measures, annual CO2 emissions are expected to drop by approximately 100,000 tonnes.
• The reduction equates to roughly one-third of the integrated mill's total CO2 emissions.
• MM Kwidzyn produces virgin fibre cartonboard, packaging kraft paper, uncoated fine paper, moulded pulp and NBSK market pulp.
