Mondi has commenced operations at its Duino mill in Italy, where the company has repurposed an existing paper machine to manufacture recycled containerboard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The upgraded machine at the Duino mill is expected to generate an annual output of 420,000t of recycled containerboard.<\/p>\n

The mill will produce a range of products, including fluting starting at 80gsm and testliner beginning at 90gsm.<\/p>\n

The machine will also produce paper reels between 0.95m and 3.35m wide, making it the broadest recycled paper machine in Mondi\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n

Klaus Peller, chief operations officer of Mondi Containerboard, stated: \u201cLaunching this mill on time shows the strength and commitment of our team and is illustrative of our long-term promise to our containerboard customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this paper machine, we are investing in their future too \u2013 ensuring resilient supply, sustainable packaging products, great service and the opportunity to grow together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The strategic location of the Mondi Duino mill offers logistical advantages, providing short delivery distances to local and neighbouring markets.<\/p>\n

Mondi\u2019s containerboard offerings now include a variety of paper grades, from completely recycled to entirely virgin fibre, catering to diverse packaging requirements.<\/p>\n

With the inclusion of the Duino mill, Mondi extends its global network to six containerboard mills.<\/p>\n

Mondi\u00a0recently launched a paper-based mattress packaging solution<\/a>, CompressWrap, for Nordic furniture producer Ekornes\u2019 mattresses.<\/p>\n

Ekornes replaced existing plastic wrappers with Mondi\u2019s re\/cycle CompressWrap to wrap its mattresses for protection during transportation.<\/p>\n

In August 2025, Mondi expanded its sustainable high-performance paper barrier range<\/a> with the launch of FunctionalBarrier Paper Ultimate.<\/p>\n

The high barrier applications of FunctionalBarrier Paper Ultimate make it suitable for packaging a range of products, including instant coffee sticks, tea sachets, dried food seasonings, and muesli or cereal bars. This ensures a long shelf life and convenience for consumers.<\/p>\n
