Packaging Solutions

Mondi welcomed international customers and partners to celebrate the start up of its Duino mill in Italy following the successful conversion of its existing papermachine into a high quality recycled containerboard machine. The event underlined the company’s commitment to supporting customers with sustainable, fit for purpose packaging and showcased the production capabilities of its recycled containerboard machine.

Once fully ramped up, the papermachine will produce 420,000 tonnes of high quality recycled containerboard annually, increasing Mondi’s integration and enhancing security of supply for customers. The mill’s product portfolio includes waste based fluting, starting with 80 g/m2, testliner from 90 g/m2 upwards, and paper reels from 0.95 to 3.35 metres on the company’s widest recycled papermachine. Duino offers short delivery distances to local and neighbouring markets while also serving international customers through nearby ports.

‘Launching this mill on time shows the strength and commitment of our team and is illustrative of our long term promise to our containerboard customers. With this papermachine, we are investing in their future too – ensuring resilient supply, sustainable packaging products, great service and the opportunity to grow together,’ said Klaus Peller, COO Mondi Containerboard.

The company’s comprehensive containerboard portfolio offers a wide range of paper grades, from fully recycled to 100% virgin fibre, providing sustainable, high performance packaging for various applications.
