Valmet's target is to enable carbon neutral tissue production by 2030 at the latest.
We offer many opportunities to reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts in tissue production through a combination of process technologies, services and automation solutions.
Technology, the proper maintenance of production equipment, fossil free energy sources, raw material and energy efficiency, and circularity are playing a key role in the transition to a carbon neutral economy and in the fight against climate change. By combining our experts’ long-term experience with yours, we can significantly reduce your CO2 emissions – and at the same time, your operational costs.
You can make an impact by investing in the best available tissue technology, optimizing the mill design and selecting the right automation, Industrial Internet and service solutions.
Let’s continue achieving great things together!
Explore the wide selection of solutions that Valmet can present to support your journey to become even more sustainable. We believe that saving potential become greater when combining shared expertise - you as tissue makers and Valmet as a technology advisor.
The calculations to the right provide an example of total saving potential for a full size tissue mill when utilizing the entire offer.
