Mondi Group has successfully started up its new Duino (Italy) recycled-containerboard paper mill. The milestone further strengthens Mondi’s position as a leading producer of high-quality, sustainable packaging solutions while driving long-term value creation, the company says in a press release.

Throughout the ramp-up phase, Mondi is focused on maintaining consistent production of high-quality recycled containerboard, made from 100% recovered fiber. Ideal for lightweight corrugated solutions, these containerboard paper grades support cost-efficient, fully recyclable packaging solutions for applications such as e-commerce and consumer-goods packaging.

“Starting up this machine on time is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team,” says Markus Gärtner, CEO-Mondi Corrugated Packaging. “With Mondi Duino now part of our integrated value chain, we are excited to serve our customers with sustainable-packaging solutions from our expanded network of six containerboard mills worldwide.”

Where possible, the mill will source materials locally, contributing to the local economy and reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions through shorter transport distances. The containerboard machine will also increase Mondi’s integration and enhance supply-chain resilience for the benefit of customers.
