Among the Kwidzyn mill’s key initiatives to minimize its impact on the environment are:
-
limiting emissions of sulphur compounds with a low odor perception threshold
-
reducing carbon dioxide and sulphur emissions through the use of lower-emission energy sources
-
efficient waste management by reducing the amount of waste generated and landfilled
-
use of high-efficiency air protection equipment
-
reducing energy consumption
-
ongoing process optimization by engineers and operators
-
use of renewable energy sources where possible
-
application of strict measures to prevent water and soil pollution
- further development of biomass plantations
Besides process optimization, International Paper’s Kwidzyn mill continues to promote environmental awareness among the community, putting special emphasis on involving the mill’s management and employees. In cooperation with local media and cultural organizations, the facility carries out a range of actions aimed at broadening public knowledge about the mill from the environmental and ecological aspect.
