Kotkamills, a Finnish company, has announced the cessation of plastic-free packaging board production at its factory in Kotka, Finland. The company is known for its innovative, sustainable products, and this decision marks a significant change in its operations.

The production of plastic-free packaging board, a product that has been increasingly in demand due to rising environmental concerns, will no longer be part of Kotkamills’ operations. Despite the growing global push for eco-friendly packaging solutions, the Kotka factory will cease its production.

The exact reasons behind the decision are not immediately clear, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the company’s overall sustainability strategy. The change could potentially affect the dynamics of the pulp and paper market, which has been witnessing a growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
