Monadnock Expands West Coast Distribution

Monadnock Paper Mills, Inc., the oldest continuously operating paper mill in the United States, announced today that it has broadened its west coast distribution. It has established a new stocking location in Kent, Washington to more fully serve its growing customer base on the U.S. West Coast.

Being in King County, the heart of the Seattle–Tacoma metropolitan area, means faster fulfillment and reduced customer shipping costs for Monadnock’s in-demand and sustainably-advantaged fine paper and packaging portfolio. Shipping times will range from one to two days with the added benefit of convenient customer pick-up.

“Historically, companies and organizations on the West Coast have been early adopters of sustainable products and processes,” said Lisa Taylor, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Monadnock Paper Mills. “As the paper industry’s oldest and best known sustainability leader, it was a natural next step to make this expansion and investment to better service our customers across the region.”

Monadnock papers enjoy an enviable sustainability profile: Crafted from 100% post-consumer waste (PCW) recycled materials, FSC Certified (FSC C018866), manufactured carbon-neutral (VERs) and made with 100% renewable Green-e certified wind-powered electricity (RECs) under a third-party certified ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.

The new distribution center is stocking and offering for immediate delivery some of Monadnock’s newest and most popular sustainable brand lines in a broad range of weights and sizes: Astrolite PC 100 Uncoated Smooth, HP Indigo Certified Astrolite PC 100 Digital +, Astrolite PC 100 Velvet 2CS, Envi PC 100 Performance Board and, Hemp Envi Performance Board.

Monadnock papers are sought-after and specified by the world’s leading brands and creatives, combining sustainability and performance for a wide range of end-uses in packaging, retail, collateral, annual reports, and marketing materials for cosmetics, nutraceuticals/CBD, wines and spirits, fashion accessories, health and beauty, jewelry and watches, and tech gadgets.

SCA invest in increased production of White-top kraftliner in Munksund papermill

SCA invests mSEK 196 in increased production of White-top kraftliner, packaging paper with a white surface, in the Munksund papermill in Piteå. Through this investment, the mill’s capacity to produce white kraftliner will increase from 150,000 tons to 200,000 tons per annum. The total production capacity will not increase as a result of the investment. The investment will affect the woodroom, where the pulpwood is debarked, and the pulpmill. The project will be finished and in operation in May 2019. "This is an important step in our development towards more value-added products in Munksund papermill", says Mats Nordlander, President Business Area Paper. "The demand is increasing for white kraftliner with excellent printing properties. Through this investment we increase the production of high-value products in Munksund and we can optimize the production of kraftliner in the Obbola papermill.

Better recycling properties for Stora Enso’s low-carbon Trayforma range for ready meals

Stora Enso continues to develop the Trayforma range further and introduces a new solution for conventionally heated food packaging applications, featuring less than 10% PET plastic. Trayforma is a wood fibre-based material for ready meals packaging, enabling brand owners and retailers to switch from fully fossil-based materials to renewables. The new Trayforma PET34 material continues to offer core properties such as food protection and heat resistance but has a significantly reduced amount of fossil-based barrier materials. When heating food in conventional oven, board materials need a PET coating to provide heat resistance and protect food. Meeting the threshold of 10% PET plastic will be an important step in producing trays made of Trayforma a better fit for fiber-based packaging recycling streams, and for achieving recyclable labelling in markets such as the UK. “We believe Trayforma products will have many future applications because they are low-carbon and help brand owners reduce their carbon footprint and use of fossil-materials, offering these benefits to consumers. Thanks to its renewable origin in wood fiber and its optimised barrier options, Trayforma range offers the right performance and several alternatives for the ready meals category, now also better fit for recycling,” says Tuomas Puonti, VP, Head of Business Line LPB Fresh & FSB from Stora Enso.
