The pilot plant enables testing and further development of the novel process for producing of a new type of packaging solution.The greenfield building will host the pilot line, which converts wood fibre into ready-to-use 3D fibre products, which, in turn, can replace similar packaging solutions made from plastic and aluminium. The goal of the pilot plant project is to develop a new competitive product and the supporting production process and equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur project is a good example of our role as a pioneering company. We have an ambitious goal to build a significant business based on the top-class know-how of Mets\u00e4 Group, Valmet and several other companies. We use familiar, sustainably-produced wood fibre as our main raw material and strive to process it into first-class packages while minimising the environmental impact. The pilot plant is developing and testing many new innovations that support, for example, our goal to replace plastic in various packaging solutions,\u201d says Jarkko Tuominen, Project Lead at Mets\u00e4 Spring.<\/p>\n<p>Construction of the pilot plant began today and the plant is scheduled to start operations in late 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The location of the pilot plant, in a globally unique bioeconomy ecosystem, is ideal &#8211; for example, Mets\u00e4 Fibre&#8217;s bioproduct mill, Mets\u00e4 Board&#8217;s paperboard mill and Excellence Centre, Mets\u00e4 Wood&#8217;s veneer mill, Pro Nemus visitor centre and Mets\u00e4 Spring\u2019s and Itochu Corporation\u2019s demo plant producing textile fibre from wood pulp are all located on the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mets\u00e4 Group\u2019s innovation company Mets\u00e4 Spring and Valmet begin construction of the 3D fibre product pilot plant in \u00c4\u00e4nekoski, Finland.
