The combination of TCF, FSC® and PEFC, and our commitment to continuously improve our sustainability has given us a leading environmental position among kraft pulp mills.
Celeste products are characterized by its unique environmental profile. In our constant efforts to improve the production process and to minimiz the mill’s impact on the environment, extensive investments have been made. These involve significant environmental improvements, as the Recovery Boiler and turbine, which reduces air emissions and makes us self-sufficient in terms of green electricity. It also includes new biological wastewater treatment plant that reduces the amount of emissions released and a modern TFC (Totally Chlorine Free) bleach plant with very low water consumption. Our latest achievement is the Bio Loop project where we replace two oil fuelled lime kilns with one new bio pellet fuelled. The project reduced our carbon footprint with over 80% and increased our integration with our forest operations further by using even more of the tree. In addition, investments have been made in logistics including railroad tracks and a new dock, all aimed at reducing our impact on the environment.
Our well managed forest holdings, together with energy-effective processes and optimized transports enable us to reduce our Carbon Footprint. We have developed skilled competence for customer cooperation regarding Carbon Footprint or other questions.
