Future proofing sustainable packaging at Mondi Dynäs

The new bark boiler will significantly cut fossil fuel use, while the digester will improve energy and water management. The world’s strongest paper, officially recognised by the Swedish edition of the Guinness World Records, is now even stronger thanks to our new digester, which further helps to improve the strength properties of our paper. This means we are able to meet increasing customer demands for innovative kraft paper solutions. 

This project at Dynäs enables us to build a more agile business and drive Mondi’s future growth by increasing capacity, strengthening our competitive position in the market with reduced carbon emissions and improved resource efficiency, creating lasting value for our customers. 

A major milestone for the fibre line 

In May 2025, the project reached a key milestone with the successful launch of the new fibre line during the mill’s annual maintenance shutdown. This included the start-up of the new continuous digester, a critical step in improving pulp quality and reducing energy use. 

This project is about securing the future of Dynäs for the next 40 years. The new equipment makes our operation more efficient, safer, and more sustainable in the long run, contributing to the growth of our business overall. Tibor Csölle - Dynäs Aurora Project Director. 

Managing complexity while keeping operations running 

Despite the mill’s limited space, the team has kept operations running with minimal disruption. Careful planning and close coordination have been essential, especially during the construction phases that brought up to 650 people on site, an increase of more than 50% compared to the usual number of employees on site. Safety has remained central throughout this large-scale project. Despite the additional people on site and complex construction activities, the team recorded only seven Recordable Cases. This strong outcome was supported by a simple but effective approach to on-site monitoring based on the “boots-on-the-ground” principle.  

High visibility, frequent engagement, and close collaboration between Safety Health and Environment (SHE) teams and site functions helped keep safety at the forefront every day. Malin Sjöstrand - Sustainability Manager at Mondi Dynäs 

Supporting the Local Community 

The project is also an investment in the local community of Kramfors. It supports job security and promotes innovation, helping to build a more sustainable future for the region, as well as for Mondi.
