Metsä Tissue’s Mänttä mill no longer uses peat in its energy production – a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions
In accordance with its sustainability objectives, Metsä Tissue, part of Metsä Group, is carrying out its transition towards fossil free mills and has given up peat in its energy production at the Mänttä mill. Renewable wood fuels, such as bark and other by-products of wood production, have replaced peat.“The transition away from peat use has been a long-term goal for us. Back in 2017, we invested in converting the main boiler into a bioboiler, which has enabled us to reduce the amount of combusted peat every year. This year, we gave up peat for good,” says Kari Karttunen, VP Production,
