Sodra and Swt Paper customize DuraPulp
Södra said that it has begun collaborating with Swt Paper to install a pilot machine for the production of wet-formed Durapulp.
By combining Södra's know-how and expertise in DuraPulp with Swt Paper's entrepreneurial drive, Södra hopes to progress Durapulp to the market more rapidly.
The pilot machine will make Durapulp for packaging and board products that are directly adapted to customer requirements.
Durapulp is a bio-composite material comprising specially selected pulp from Södra Cell and a renewable biopolymer.
Durapulp was exhibited for the first time at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2009 in the form of the Parupu children's chair developed by design company Claesson Koivisto Rune.
