IFC released reports on the Fray Bentos mill

Report this content 
World Bank's International Finance Corporation (IFC) has released reports from
two independent external consultants that indicate that Botnia's Fray Bentos
pulp mill in Uruguay is ready to operate in accordance with IFC's environmental
and social requirements and international BAT standards. 


IFC also provided an updated Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP),
reflecting the status of Botnia's compliance with the issues to be addressed as
a condition of IFC financing of the project. The reports and updated ESAP
confirm that the Fray Bentos pulp mill will generate major economic benefits
for Uruguay and will not cause harm to the environment.
