Essity has unveiled the world’s first tissue machine operating wholly on geothermal steam at its production facility in Kawerau, New Zealand. The plant’s annual CO2 emissions have been reduced by two-thirds.

Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, is moving closer to its goal of eliminating landfill waste from its production by 2030. In 2024, the company successfully used 95 percent of solid side streams, with only a small portion ending up in landfills. Metsä Group plans to cease producing recycled pulp at its Mänttä mill in Finland and to shut down one of the mill’s three tissue PMs, as it is at the end of its life cycle. The move away from recycled fiber is in line with Metsä Group’s strategy to produce high-quality hygiene papers using wood.
