As part of an ongoing optimization of WACKER’S distribution sales channels, Quimica Anders is to be entrusted with the distribution of WACKER’s polymer and silicone products in Chile. Effective July 1, 2010, Quimica Anders, who is already a WACKER partner in Peru and Bolivia, replaces the previous distribution partner Ingenieria Y Comercial Inge-Wag Ltda.

Quimica Anders, a distribution partner with 45 years of experience in the regional distribution market and an established presence in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Uruguay and Guatemala, already distributes selected WACKER products from the Group’s silicones and polymers portfolio in Peru and Bolivia. In Chile, the focus will be on dispersible polymer powders and dispersions as well as on silicone emulsions, silicone resins and antifoam agents, mainly aiming at applications in the construction, cosmetics, textiles and pulp & paper-processing sectors, and in the process industry.

WACKER is a world-leading manufacturer of vinyl acetate/ethylene and vinyl chloride copolymers, marketed worldwide as VINNAPAS® and VINNOL®. These thermoplastic, plasticizer-free polymers are mainly used in construction chemicals, adhesives, nonwovens, paints and coatings, paper, carpets and textiles.

The portfolio ranges from silicone fluids, emulsions, resins, elastomers and sealants to silanes and pyrogenic silica.

UPM has sold to the State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources a conservation easement on 187,876 acres (76,000 hectares) of UPM-owned forest land in Northern Minnesota. UPM will receive USD 44 million (approximately EUR 36 million) for the easement and will record a pre-tax capital gain of USD 42 million (approximately EUR 34 million) in the Company's third quarter result.

Under the conservation easement, UPM retains ownership of the land and its Blandin paper mill in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, will continue to use it as a working forest. The easement provides the public with access for recreational purposes such as hunting, fishing, hiking and snowmobiling in perpetuity. UPM's Blandin will continue to manage the forest under its unique Smart Forestry system which is designed to enhance productivity and support economic and environmental sustainability. The land is certified to comply with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.

The easement preserves conservation values which protect the recreational, working forest and natural and scenic resources of the affected land. Blandin can satisfy its obligations under the easement by continuing its certification by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will conduct audits for compliance.

"UPM believes in the multiple uses of our forest resources for economic, ecological and public benefit, and our forestry professionals have always managed the land for these varied uses," said Joe Maher, General Manager of UPM Blandin. "This landmark conservation easement in the US shows vision and cooperation, to the benefit of all groups who care about our forest lands. UPM is pleased to be part of it."

AbitibiBowater could emerge from bankruptcy protection in October if creditors vote in August to approve the newsprint producer's restructuring plan, the Canadian Press reports. The Montreal-based company has been under court protection in Canada and the United States since April 2009.

Following the creditor's meeting in late August, the Quebec Superior Court and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court would meet in early September to endorse the restructuring plan. According to a Canadian Press article which appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press on July 5, the proposed timetable is expected to be approved on July 9.

The restructuring plan will see AbitibiBowater's debt decrease from US$6.5 billion to US$1.6 billion as it pays off secured creditors and debtor-in-possession financing. It will also offer up US$500 million in new convertible notes to eligible unsecured creditors.

Unsecured creditors will receive between nothing and 48% when their debt is converted to equity, depending on their class.

The Winnipeg Free Press reports that current shareholders will walk away empty-handed. Others fall somewhere in between, including workers who received no severance when their mills were shut over the past year.

The company has obtained the support of its main bondholders and the unsecured creditors committee in the U.S. The committee's endorsement is particularly significant because it's very rare for a U.S. bankruptcy judge to go against a plan approved by such a committee, the story notes.

Chief executive David Paterson has said the company can't continue to cut its way to offset the continued decline in demand for newsprint.

The reorganized company hopes to capitalize on export market opportunities and promising growth markets for paper used in catalogues, magazine inserts, direct mail, inkjet paper and paper packaging.

AbitibiBowater has streamlined its asset portfolio by closing or idling 3.4 million tonnes of paper capacity since 2007. Newsprint production capacity has been trimmed 36 per cent to 3.6 million tonnes and accounts for 38 per cent of total sales, down from 45 per cent in 2007, according to the Winnipeg Free Press story.

Staples, Inc., a company committed to making it easy for customers, demonstrates as much with their comprehensive environmental program, EcoEasy™, the topic of a new episode in the popular On Paper sustainability podcast series. Sponsored by NewPage Corporation, North America’s largest coated paper manufacturer, all On Paper podcasts are available for download free-of-charge at http://www.onpaperseries.com.

Featuring Mark Buckley, vice president of environmental affairs for Staples, Inc., this episode addresses ways in which companies, as well as individuals, can make a difference in protecting the environment. “We make it very easy for folks to find products that have a better environmental attribute,” Buckley shares.

Through EcoEasy™, Staples focuses their environmental efforts on three major areas including products, recycling services and internal operations. By offering customers innovative environmental products and services, to implementing energy conservation, waste reduction, recycling and green building initiatives in their own internal operations, they’ve been able to achieve measurable results and capture accolades from some of the nation’s top green business lists.

When discussing the concept of democratizing sustainability, making it accessible to the general public, Buckley explains to On Paper listeners, “Our strategy is to fundamentally change the way that products get brought to market. {We ask} how can we create more opportunities across other categories in our business, where customers don’t necessarily have to make that trade-off in terms of price?”

In an Entrepreneur magazine article published earlier this year, Staples illustrated for readers how to “green” an existing office space by making smarter choices in their product selection and processes. During this On Paper episode, Buckley further explains that process to listeners and provides tangible actions to pursue.

Metso and Myllykoski’s MD Plattling mill have signed a frame agreement for the maintenance operations at MD Plattling paper mill in Plattling, Germany. The multi-year agreement will become effective as of January 1, 2011.

According to the frame agreement, MD Plattling will outsource the maintenance of their two light-weight coated paper making lines to Metso. The mill’s maintenance personnel, amounting to approx. 70 persons, will start working for Metso.

Metso already is responsible for the maintenance of the SC-paper line, belonging to Plattling Papier, an alliance partner of Myllykoski. The SC-paper line had its start-up in December 2007 and is located at the same mill site as MD Plattling. The considerable extension of Metso’s maintenance responsibility at the Plattling mill site is a sign of the customer’s trust in Metso and its maintenance concept.

“The choice of the partner was made based on the proven and fair cooperation and the positive experiences we have had”, says Caius Murtola, General Manager of Plattling. For Metso, the agreement with MD Plattling is a very important maintenance outsourcing reference and a milestone in developing the service business, one of the cornerstones of the company’s strategy.

MD Plattling is a company of the Myllykoski Group. Plattling Papier is part of Myllykoski’s alliance partner Rhein Papier GmbH. Myllykoski is a family-owned international paper group with manufacturing in Finland, Germany and the United States. Myllykoski is among the largest publication paper producers in the world, operating seven paper mills with a total annual capacity of close to 3 million tonnes and employing 2,700 people.
