June 2023: Stora Enso and Tetra Pak started a new recycling line for post-consumer beverage cartons at Stora Enso‘s Ostrołęka corrugated packaging plant in Poland. According to the companies, the newly added capacity intends to make the site one of Europe’s main recycling hubs for liquid paperboard packaging. Stora Enso reported that the new line has a capacity of 50,000 tonnes a year. It handles only beverage cartons, separating the fibers from polymers and aluminum. The fibers are then recycled and reused for board production. Czech companies Plastigram Industries and Tetra Pak are industrializing a solution to recycle the non-fiber "PolyAl" fraction into new products.
