The PPI Awards are the only global awards dedicated to recognizing the achievements of companies, mills and individuals in the pulp and paper sector.Commenting on the award, Henrik Wettergren, Business Area Manager for Printing Paper and Specialties, said:"We are delighted. One important mission for Södra, together with innovative partners, is to develop and supply tomorrow's raw materials based on renewable forest resources. DuraPulp has got us off to an excellent start."DuraPulp is a degradable material that is strong, durable and highly water resistant, unlike traditional paper products. It is manufactured from a composite material consisting of a specially selected pulp from Södra and a renewable biopolymer. A children's chair and a lamp made of DuraPulp have already attracted considerable attention worldwide. /AA
