The move targets the increasing demand for paper-based flexible packaging, reflecting the growth in e-commerce and a rising emphasis on sustainability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The installation is one element of a \u20ac400m ($463.8m) investment programme to boost capacity at the mill.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new asset will manufacture high-strength, high-porosity grades for construction, industrial and e-commerce uses.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A panel session featuring customers, equipment manufacturers and industry specialists examined current market dynamics, sustainability topics and cooperation across the packaging supply chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
