Essity has opened its new state-of-the-art recycled fibre facility at its largest UK manufacturing site in Prudhoe, marking a major milestone in the company’s long term commitment to sustainable tissue production in the UK.
The £30 million plus investment significantly expands Essity’s recycled fibre processing capability, increasing capacity at the site to over 105,000 tonnes per year and brings the company’s total annual capacity for recycled fibre in the UK to approximately 190,000 tonnes.
