Sustana shares with Paper360 the De Pere Mill Optimization for Production of Dry bales

In a strategic move, Sustana has acquired fiber drying equipment for its De Pere, Wisconsin facility.

Since its establishment, the De Pere mill has specialized in the production of wet lap fiber, with the capability of producing 450 tons per day of quality sustainable fiber. However, growth potential has long been hindered by the challenges inherent in handling a product with roughly 50% water content. Now, with the integration of dryer equipment, Sustana is poised to propel production into a new era of excellence within the recycled fiber market.

Central to Sustana’s endeavor is a steadfast commitment to sustainability and innovation. This drive led to the acquisition of fluff drying equipment previously idle at the Chetwynd mill in British Columbia. At the time of the Chetwynd mill closure, the drying system and presses were undergoing reconstruction and were at various stages of repair. Now, as Sustana breathes new life into this equipment, the De Pere facility stands ready to embark on a transformative journey towards enhanced efficiency and environmental stewardship.

Sappi delivers record earnings for the third financial quarter 2022

The packaging and speciality papers segment reached another record level of profitability despite flat year-on-year sales volumes, which were constrained by available capacity and low inventory levels in North America and South Africa. Demand remained robust and further selling price increases lifted margins for the segment. Graphic paper sales volumes were 4% higher than the prior year. The segment benefited from tight market conditions which supported selling price increases and drove margin growth. These favourable market conditions enabled all assets to run at full operating rates during the quarter. A substantial improvement in profitability of the European business was a result of favourable market conditions, which facilitated selling price increases in the paper segments and enabled the region to offset higher costs across all input categories. Profitability of the North American business continued its upwards trajectory with the region recording yet another record quarterly EBITDA of US$118 million.

UPM Plywood introduces new fire retardant WISA®-SpruceFR structural plywood for building and construction

UPM Plywood introduces a new fire retardant WISA-SpruceFR structural plywood for building and construction end uses. WISA-SpruceFR combines the market leading quality and structural performance with B-s1, d0 fire classification - the highest a wood product can have. "This is uniquely different type of plywood product released to the market," says Riku Härkönen, Product Manager at UPM Plywood. "There are products which are either extremely expensive, pressure treated, or they come with conditions and requirements for other structural solutions," Härkönen describes. Unlike in many other fire-resistant wooden products, the fire-retardant treatment in WISA-SpruceFR does not compromise the plywood's technical properties; the panels preserve the original qualities of untreated WISA-Spruce plywood. Also, different from many other wood panels, WISA-SpruceFR does not require any special structural design to achieve the fire classification. It can be used just like a regular plywood panel.
