Minimized environmental impact and maximized efficiency
The board and paper industry takes seriously its environmental responsibilities and increasingly strict energy and environmental regulations also call for the reduction of greenhouse gases, more efficient use of energy and raw materials, as well as improved recycling and use of renewable energy sources.
Our key objective is to enhance the competitiveness of our customers’ processes by improving the productivity and efficiency of their production lines and promoting sustainable paper production through the best available technology and innovative technological solutions.
Valmet’s sustainable solutions enable the efficient use of materials and energy in production processes, recycling, the conservation of water, the reduction of emissions, dust, and noise, and the optimization of processes. Process optimization, together with the right-wear and spare parts and maintenance services, helps to minimize the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycles.
Our comprehensive services and automation offering help to maximize the environmental efficiency of the technologies and ensures operational safety and reliability over the entire lifetime of the plant.
Our sustainable solutions for board and papermakers

Material efficiency: Use less, get more
Material efficiency means producing the same end result with reduced amounts or lower grades of raw materials. This applies particularly to paper and board manufacturing, but also to certain aspects of machinery construction.

Efficiency through living and breathing safety
Safety was the driving force behind modernizing a paper machine for Stora Enso in Finland. To ensure mills safety performance, Valmet delivered safer winder and transfer rails from reel to winder, and measurements and controls for the BM5.

OptiConcept M -sustainable papermaking
OptiConcept M is the paper machine of the future. Suits containerboard, carton board, and fine paper production.

Responsibility benefits the entire value chain
