Stora Enso invests $5.7 million in manufacturing fiber products

Stora Enso is investing 5 million euros ($5.7 million) to build a new production line and related infrastructure to manufacture formed fiber products at Hylte Mill in Sweden. The formed fiber technology enables manufacturing of products that are designed for circularity, meaning that they are renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable and do not contain any plastic. Its first products, which are expected to reach the market by the end of 2019, include single-use food packaging items such as plastic-free cups, bowls, clamshells, plates, and coffee cup lids as well as non-food applications.
