Currently, Renewcell has a pilot scale production site in Kristinehamn, Sweden. The Kristinehamn plant is able to produce 4 500 tonnes of Circulose® dissolving pulp annually. Renewcell is currently expanding production with an industrial scale plant in Sundsvall, capable of producing 60 000 tonnes annually. The plant is being built in a brownfield site and will utilize a lot of the same infrastructure and equipment that was in use at the mill earlier located in the site.
With fast-paced on-the-go lifestyles globally on the rise, the demand for to-go packaging solutions for food services is also on the rise and more and more disposable cups and containers are needed. However, while consumers spend more time and money to eat the healthiest and sustainably produced foods, the impact of packaging in which the food is delivered is often overlooked and too few disposables are recycled, even when they could be. MM Kotkamills’ innovation, a unique water-based dispersion coated barrier board named ISLA®, is addressing this problem since the water-based dispersion coated barrier board can be recycled similarly to regular paper waste. Moreover, since the material is biodegradable, it doesn’t harm nature even when not recycled.

One of the factors that support economic growth in Indonesia is the growth of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME). Based on data from the State Ministry for Cooperative and Small Medium Enterprises (Kementerian Koperasi dan Usaha Kecil Menengah, 2020), MSME has contributed around 61.97% of Indonesia Gross Domestic Product.
Due to the Covid-19pandemic, a number of MSMEs struggled to distribute their products because of the decreasing mobility of people. On the other hand, changes in people’s consumption behaviour from offline to online also significantly impacted MSMEs. In the end, many MSMEs have closed their business. The closing of the business also impacts the increase of unemployment and in the long run will increase the number of poverty if this is not solved immediately.
The business is about creating sustainable and artisan paper. Since the production of paper is one of the processes in which more water is used or rather wasted, creating artisan paper with a much more sustainable process helps to save water and recycle material. The sustainable development goals they seek are: Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDGs 11) and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDGs 12).
Through the implementation of this innovation in the paper industry, Camila is helping create a more sustainable city in Bogotá, and it is helping communities such as local businesses stand out from the competition with the use of her beautiful paper, which not only wastes less water as stated before, it also uses zero chemicals.
On the other hand, Camila is promoting a more responsible consumption of paper through her ethical and methodical production of paper. This is mainly because she is showing people that there are alternatives to the white paper that we are all accustomed to, one which has better quality, different textures and can be created in your own specific way.

Palm is an artisan company engaged in woodworking, founded in the 1960s by Guido Barzoni, the father of the current entrepreneurial generation in charge. Its approach can be summarized with the concepts of eco-design and eco-planning that aims at obtaining economic savings as well as environmental protection. In other words, they aim to design and optimize the weight and volume of the packaging with the same performance by using less raw material and, consequently, reduce the transported tare.
Always attentive to the environmental impact of its production activity, Palm mainly uses raw materials - fir and pine wood - from Northern European countries. Recently, several national forest owners have been orienting forest management towards the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council: non-governmental organization that has as its purpose the correct forest management and traceability of its derived products) and PEFC (Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification: certification organization for sustainable forest management). This orientation has allowed Palm to increase its use of autochthonous wood harvested locally. Hence the company has engaged with the "0 km Pallet" project, which led the company to be the leader of an initiative for the local planting of poplars. This project aims to promote the development of the local economy and agriculture, and reduce the environmental impacts of transporting wood over long distances.
