SCA: Half-year Report , Q2 2024

SCA’s earnings for the second quarter were stronger compared with the preceding quarter and the year-earlier quarter. Demand for fiber-based products gradually grew during the first half of the year, which led to progressively higher selling prices that positively impacted earnings. The high rate of self-sufficiency in wood raw material, energy and logistics continued to contribute to effective cost control and the strategic capital expenditures recently made in pulp and packaging paper resulted in higher delivery volumes. The supply of wood raw material to SCA’s industries was stable. The price of sawlogs and pulpwood continued to rise slightly compared with the preceding quarter. Seasonally stronger demand combined with higher sawlog costs led to increasing selling prices for solid-wood products compared with the preceding quarter. Demand in the Pulp segment remained at a good level with increased delivery volumes and progressively higher selling prices compared with the preceding quarter.

Extended Producer Responsibility fees delayed to 2025

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) charges for packaging converters, producers and suppliers have been delayed a year, from October 2024 to 2025. The government blamed economic pressures for the delay, but said it would use the time to finalise plans for the scheme’s implementation with local government, businesses, and waste management companies. Companies involved in packaging will still have to collect and process data on the amount and nature of packaging they use or produce during the delay.

Mondi collaborates with Veyzle, WEPA and Soprema to make release liner production waste more circular

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has improved the circularity of material flows in two release liner production sites in Germany and the Netherlands. 95 % of the production waste is now used as secondary raw material for other industries, thanks to its strategic partnerships. By collaborating closely with industry stakeholders along the value chain, Mondi has tackled the siliconised and coated paper waste produced at its release liner plants in Jülich, Germany, and Heerlen, Netherlands. It is now repulped and valorised as secondary raw material in a range of other applications. Mondi Jülich and Mondi Heerlen kicked off a partnership with Veyzle, a Dutch specialist in the recycling of paper and plastics, and the Dutch site of the WEPA Group, an expert for sustainable hygiene papers, two years ago. Since then, Veyzle collects Mondi’s production waste from the two plants and sorts, shreds and bails the different papers before transporting them to WEPA. WEPA has developed an advanced repulping technology to valorise laminated and siliconised papers and uses them to create hygiene paper, such as toilet paper and paper towels. All three partners are located close together to keep transportation to a minimum.
