Essity has begun work at a £30 million wastepaper recycling plant in Northumberland, U.K. The new operation is expected to reduce Essity's reliance onf virgin wood fiber for products like tissues, sanitary pads and diapers. It will be one of the U.K.'s most advanced wastepaper recyling plant, housing the latest in paper-recycling technology, reducing energy costs and increasing its ability to make household products from recycled fibers.
Program manager Paul Oliver says, "The significance of this investment cannot be over-stated. It will enable us to recycle lower-grade paper and board, enhance our ability to segregate plastic and metal contaminants, reduce waste sent to landfill and improve energy efficiency.
