Name of the Project
Ostrołęka large-scale carton repulping line.
Location
Ostrołęka production unit, in Poland.
Project Owner/s
Tetra Pak and Stora Enso.
Project Description
The project involves the introduction of a large-scale carton repulping line at Stora Enso’s Ostrołęka production unit.
The line will triple the recycling capacity of used beverage cartons in Poland from 25 000 t/y to 75 000 t/y.
Stora Enso will invest €17-million in a new repulping line that will recover the carton fibres, while Tetra Pak, along with Plastigram, will invest €12.1-million to build an additional line. This will recover and separately recycle the polymers and the aluminium using a patented separation technology.
The project will allow for the recycling of the entire volume of beverage cartons sold in the country, as well as ones from neighbouring countries, including Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
The separated materials will be used as raw materials for various end-applications. Recycled fibres will be integrated into Stora Enso’s recycled board. The separated polymers and aluminium will be repurposed into different products such as crates and foils.
Potential Job Creation

Capital Expenditure
€29.1-million.
Planned Start/End Date
