Stora Enso, a global provider of renewable solutions for packaging, paper and biomaterials, has officially opened its new dry-forming production unit in Skene, Sweden.<\/p>\n

This marks a significant milestone in the company\u2019s commitment to sustainable packaging solutions and represents a major advancement in fibre-based packaging technology.<\/p>\n

The Skene facility is the world\u2019s largest and most advanced dry-forming production unit, utilising an innovative process developed by PulPac.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional wet-forming, the dry-forming process significantly reduces water and energy consumption, offering a more environmentally sustainable manufacturing method.<\/p>\n

The process minimises waste by recapturing and reusing excess material, creating a more circular economy.<\/p>\n

The production unit will produce high-performance formed fibre products, such as cup lids, designed to replace single-use plastics in food and beverage packaging.<\/p>\n
