Mondi has strengthened its position as a producer of high-quality sustainable packaging solutions with the opening of a mill in Duino, Italy.

Throughout the ramp-up phase, Mondi is maintaining consistent production of high-quality recycled containerboard, made from 100% recovered fibre. Ideal for lightweight corrugated solutions, these containerboard paper grades support cost-efficient, fully recyclable packaging solutions for applications such as eCommerce and consumer goods packaging, explained the company.

“Starting up this machine on time is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team,” said Markus Gärtner, CEO Mondi Corrugated Packaging. “With Mondi Duino now part of our integrated value chain, we are excited to serve our customers with sustainable packaging solutions from our expanded network of six containerboard mills worldwide.”

Where possible, the mill will source materials locally, contributing to the local economy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through shorter transport distances. The Mill’s containerboard machine once fully ramped up, will produce 420,000 tonnes of high-quality recycled containerboard annually. It will enhance the security of supply and enhance supply chain resilience for the benefit of customers.
