The company will begin construction work on the project in the second quarter of this year, followed by machine installations in two stages with a 24-month duration for each.

Pöyry Brazil president Fábio Bellotti da Fonseca noted that the agreement strengthens the company’s position in consulting and engineering in the pulp and paper industry, and its relations with Klabin.

Established in 1899, Klabin offers short-fibre, long-fibre and fluff pulp for corrugated packaging and industrial bags. It operates 17 industrial units in Brazil and one in Argentina.

Earlier this month, Pöyry created an initiative, PlasticsToBio, in a bid to address global plastic pollution.

As part of the initiative, the company will decouple plastics from fossil-based materials and turn all products into bio-based materials.
