When we purchased the Syktyvkar pulp and paper mill in 2002, it had been in constant use since the early 1970s. One early decision we took was to cease using the mill’s 24- hectare network of wastewater sludge ponds, heavily contaminated through the use of chlorine for paper-bleaching over many years. In 2007, we completed a successful rehabilitation project, covering the ponds with inert materials made up of excess bark, which seals the ponds.
