M-real Kangas and Äänekoski mills, producing paper and paperboard, enhanced
their environmental performance in 2006 compared with the previous year's
levels. This can be concluded from the M-real Kangas and M-real Äänekoski Paper
EMAS statements, which will be published by summer 2007. The reports, including
detailed information on measures taken to minimise the mills' adverse
environmental impacts, will be available at M-real's web site www.m-real.com. 

Kangas and Äänekoski mills reduced their consumption of energy and process
water by 20-30 % per tonne of product produced. During the past five years, the
mills' volume of landfill waste has declined by 80-90 %. Discharges of chemical
oxygen demanding (COD) agents were also reduced, and there were no incidental
discharges influencing the condition of the effluent receiving waterways.
Improved efficiency of the production facilities is reflected in the mills'
environmental indicators. Both mills have developed their internal purification
systems to minimise discharges of solid waste into wastewater treatment.
