Sustana Advances as a Clean Materials Company

In a strategic move to streamline its operations and enhance its commitment to sustainability, Sustana proudly announces the rebranding of its subsidiary companies, including Sustana Fiber, Rolland, and Hanna Paper, under the united Sustana umbrella.

Fabian de Armas, Chairman and CEO of Sustana, expressed his enthusiasm for the rebrand, stating, “This strategic move marks a significant milestone in our journey toward a more circular and nature-positive future. By uniting our business units under the Sustana brand, we are creating a stronger, more united company around our shared purpose – to make sustainability an ingredient in everyday products.”

Aaron Ling, Director of Sustainability at Sustana, highlighted the company’s ambition to drive the clean materials and methods movement forward. “A more sustainable future isn’t possible unless materials adopt more eco-friendly practices. Sustana’s mission is to develop sustainable solutions with clean materials and a circular mindset. Through innovation and collaboration, we can show that it’s possible to produce high-quality, fiber-based materials while minimizing waste, preserving natural resources, and protecting biodiversity.”

De Armas emphasized how the rebrand positions Sustana as the premier provider of holistic, sustainable fiber-based solutions and services. “From waste prevention to sourcing alternative fiber to paper production, we embrace a circular mindset at every step. We believe this will draw and invite prospects and partners who are committed to delivering a more sustainable future. It’s about creating a shared vision that aligns us toward a common goal.”

UPM launches collaboration with Aalto Design Factory to promote sustainable design

UPM has entered a partnership with Aalto Design Factory to study sustainable design. Aalto Design Factory will investigate the extent that sustainability guides designers’ choices and explore new perspectives and ways of addressing sustainability throughout the life cycle of products and services. For example, decisions on materials are often made already during early design phases, and these have a significant impact on the resulting product sustainability. UPM is keen to participate widely in research and development promoting sustainability. The core aim of Aalto Design Factory’s research project Design+Sustainability is to find new, effective means of promoting sustainability and to yield new information about how sustainability can be promoted from the earliest stage of the design process in the creation of new products and services.

Mativ Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results

Chief Executive Officer Julie Schertell commented, "We saw meaningful increases in volume and profitability in Filtration and our overall SAS segment during the third quarter, with SAS segment adjusted EBITDA increasing almost 20% year over year. This was somewhat offset by results in Advanced Films, which were impacted by automotive and construction end markets. As such, we have launched a turnaround effort specific to Advanced Films focused on demand generation, operational performance and increased customer and end market diversification. This turnaround effort will be similar to the approach we used for Healthcare throughout 2023, which year-to-date, resulted in above-market sales growth of more than 5% and materially improved profitability versus the same period in 2023. Given the prevailing macro-economic conditions and the slow pace of demand recovery, we continue to prioritize those things that we can control and execute on actions to mitigate external market factors, such as the $20 million reduction in non-operating cost announced earlier this year. Additionally, we are increasing capacity in our growth categories of filtration, specialty tapes, release liners and medical films, while at the same time reducing cost and optimizing our supply chain by reducing our plant footprint from 48 sites at the time of the merger to 35 sites today and our warehousing footprint by more than 25%. These actions reduce cost and complexity, and support sustained margin improvements as demand returns.”
