International technology Group ANDRITZ successfully completed the supply and ramp-up of a new digester for Brazilian pulp and paper producer Suzano. The continuous digester, installed at Suzano's mill in Suzano city, São Paulo state, started up in May 2015 and replaces existing batch digesters as well as a continuous digester, thus further reducing production costs. It is designed to increase the mill’s output of bleached eucalyptus kraft (BEK) pulp by 33,000 metric t/a, to a total of 550,000 t/a.  

"The learning curve for the new digester went really well and after 10 days we already reached nominal capacity,” says José Alexandre de Morais Suzano’s Industrial Director. The investment project was executed precisely as planned with no loss of production. All of the connections to the new digester were made during a regular maintenance shutdown planned for the mill.

The equipment supplied by ANDRITZ helps to further improve pulp quality while at the same time cooking yield is increased, thus leading to lower wood consumption. Due to the improved bleachability, bleaching chemical consumption is decreased. In addition, the new technology reduces natural gas consumption at the mill. The investment was considered important by Suzano to modernize equipment installed in the 1970s.

UPM and the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) have been developing a method for assessing ecosystem services derived alongside the production of wood-based products. This pilot study focused on the environmental impacts resulting from the growth of trees used for the production of one tonne of pulp. In this study, the carbon sink effect, water protection and the sustainability of native forest species were analysed in detail. The study confirmed that the forest area from where pulpwood is sourced yields multiple benefits besides just wood raw material.

The study examined the amount of wood required for the production of one tonne of softwood pulp at UPM in Finland, as well as the time required for the trees to grow. The trees purify over eight million litres of water and absorb over 4,000 kg of carbon dioxide during their lifetime.

The majority of Finland’s 20,000 forest species also inhabit areas used for wood production. Hundreds of species, such as moss, lichen and insects, depend on trees used in pulp production. Forest renewal secures the long-term survival of these species.
UPM’s operations are based on using wood in multiple efficient ways to produce not only pulp, but also sawn timber, plywood, composites, papers and label materials. The company also uses industrial by-products and residues to produce energy, biochemicals and renewable diesel.

Pioneering perspectives on sustainability

“With the help of ecosystem services, the environmental impacts of land management and raw material production can be described in a more diverse manner. For our study, we selected indicators that relate to the most important global environmental issues, such as renewable natural resources, climate change, clean water and biodiversity. All in all, the benefits derived from forests are highly diverse, extending from products we can collect to recreational enjoyment,” says Timo Lehesvirta, Director, Forest Global, UPM.

“Projects like this are essential for the evolving bioeconomy in Finland. Companies should include the evaluation of natural ecosystem services in their management systems, and develop this into a responsible and productive business. The indicators or methods for measuring ecosystem services are not yet agreed upon anywhere in a commensurable fashion. Our research marks one step forward,” says Petteri Vihervaara, Senior Research Scientist specializing in ecosystem services, SYKE.

The 10th of September 2015 marks a significant turn towards more responsibly sourced paper and pulp products in China. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), The Chinese Forestry Industry Association and the leading producers and buyers of paper and pulp products have established The China Sustainable Paper Alliance (CSPA) to promote the development of responsible sourcing and sustainable forest operations within the forest industry in China.

UPM is one of the 10 founding members of this Alliance. The members represent both domestic and international companies covering the whole supply chain of China’s pulp and paper industry. UPM is among international players such as Kimberly-Clark, Fuji Xerox, HP and IKEA as well as some locally significant players.

“China is today the world’s largest producer and consumer of paper products. At the same time the country faces  challenges of deforestation and shortage of timber”, says Ma Yuanyuan, Director, Marketing, Communications and Environmental Affairs, UPM Paper Asia. “UPM as the leading producer of office papers in China acknowledges its significant role in enforcing sustainable forest industry and this also is the main driving force for joining CSPA,” Ma continues.

WWF China hopes CSPA to show the way to sustainability for other industries in China. “WWF launches this regional sustainable alliance, aiming for an overall increase of supply and demand of certified and recycled paper products in the Chinese market. We are also expecting that this initiative can inspire a transition in other industries in China", comments Dr Li Lin, Executive Program Director of WWF China.

The demand and supply of sustainably produced paper and pulp products to a rise with CSPA

The companies who join the CSPA are required to produce and purchase responsibly sourced paper and pulp products. In practical terms the companies take care of forests sustainably, know the origin of wood and ensure that all wood is legally logged. The Alliance also aims at increasing consumers’ awareness of the value of public recognitions as well as certified and recycled paper products.

“UPM is already today a frontrunner of these values. UPM Changshu Mill in China is in both the PEFC™ and FSC® international forest management schemes and our paper grades have been rated on highest level in the WWF’s Check your Paper system,” Ma tells. “UPM was actually the first paper company in China to achieve the FSC® certificate. Joining the CSPA is yet another step in enforcing sustainability on the Chinese market,”, Ma concludes.

A Pöyry Point of View on the key trends shaping the international tissue market

The global tissue market as we know it is a moving target. Pöyry Management Consulting forecasts shifts in consumer purchasing patterns challenging the dominance of legacy brands in established markets, while China represents medium-term growing pains but long-term optimism.

A new Point of View by Pöyry argues that the dominance of legacy brands in the tissue market is under threat from shifts in consumer purchasing behaviour. The North American tissue market is traditionally characterised by strong legacy brands but private labels have closed the gap in market share by 9% in the past ten years – now standing at 27% (in Western Europe, private labels hold 63% market share).

 ‘Changing patterns in the global tissue market: private label versus brands’ details how the increase has been driven by recession awakened frugality, increased availability of high quality private label tissue and the emergence of a new force shaping the consumer market – the millennials. Private label preference and consumption is higher among millennials than more mature consumers. Significantly, millennials’ will make up 46% of consumers by 2025, an increase of 15% from the 2014 level.

Millennials have grown up in the middle of a multitude of private labels across a range of sectors. For them, a private label does not appear as suspicious as it might for their parents. Frugality has encouraged them to take the leap of faith and they haven’t been let down by product quality. Brand status for many just appears as an unnecessary premium. This mentality has significant implications for manufacturers. They need to adapt to cater to this ever growing consumer group - Sanna Kallioranta from Pöyry Management Consulting

Tissue brands have been fighting back by introducing more affordable, less fluffy or strong “basic” versions of the branded products. They are also reaching into their deep pockets for promotional strategies to sway the price sensitive tissue market having realised that millennials have significantly higher price sensitivity than mature consumers.

The key driver for high private label penetration in Europe - in addition to general higher consumer value orientation, a challenging recent economic situation and the cultural challenges associated with building a pan-European brand - is the highly consolidated nature of the retail sector in many markets. For example, in Germany, the market is controlled by the top five retailers and private labels enjoy over 80% of market share.

Discount stores, as well as super and hypermarkets with a focus on economy products, have gained in popularity in Europe. These stores have strong private label programs and hence, developing and driving private label program growth has been a key strategy for the largest European retailers to counter their growth. The major chains, such as Carrefour and Tesco, have been developing private label lines with more upmarket positioning to attract higher income consumers.

China is still a young tissue market – both for brands and especially for private labels. Tissue demand in China has grown by 8.4% per year since 2008, yet it still only represents 22-50% of the per capita consumption levels in the West. Momentum in the Chinese retail sector structure bodes well for private label growth, however. The Chinese retail sector has been very fragmented and international chains have struggled. The sector has therefore entered an era of active mergers and acquisitions. As European markets demonstrate, a more consolidated retail sector typically brings better opportunities for private label market growth.
