Dalum Papir: The world ’s most environmental paper manufacturer

Our paper production is based on a 100% recycling concept: Nothing is wasted – plastics, metals, residual sludge – everything is reused. We ensure that our impact on the environment is as low as possible and that we use as few of nature’s scarce resources as possible.

When it comes to the environment we let the facts speak for themselves. We recycle 120,000 tonnes of waste paper every year. When compared to the manufacture of non recycled paper we reduce energy consumption by 80%, use 60% less water and our CO2 emissions are substantially lower.

Dalum Papir A/S has a continuous focus on reducing its energy and water consumption. Since 2007, the paper mill’s power plant has generated steam and electricity from biomass in the form of woodchip waste from Danish forestry and timber operations. The switch from fossil-based energy to biomass has reduced carbon emissions by 90 percent.

The green energy which is generated is primarily used for paper production, but additional investments in energy management have ensured that surplus heat is now distributed as district heating to approx. 7,000 households in the neighbourhood of the paper mill. Thus the making of recycled graphical papers at the Dalum mill is cutting energy and water consumption significantly compared to virgin paper and also providing ‘green’ district heating to the local community.

In addition to holding all the envrionmental certificates that you would expect for recycled paper, Dalum Papir A/S is fully committed to pursuing a comprehensive CSR programme.

Dalum Papir is a company in Arjowiggins Graphic.
