Pavlodar plant to process 75,000 t/y of recovered paper from 2028

A paper and board recycling plant is under construction in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, with an investment of over KZT 10bn. The plant is expected to start operations in 2028 with capacity to process up to 75,000 tonnes of recovered paper a year, reducing reliance on imported raw material and creating about 250 jobs.

Why this mattersNew domestic recovered-fibre capacity in Central Asia cuts a regional corrugated converter's reliance on Russian-sourced raw material.
