Mondi Successfully Starts Up Recycled Containerboard Machine In Duino, Italy
Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has officially begun operations at its Duino mill in Italy—a significant milestone that reinforces its position at the forefront of high-quality, environmentally responsible packaging production. This successful start-up marks another step forward in Mondi’s strategy to deliver long-term value while supporting a more circular, sustainable economy.
The Duino mill will focus on producing high-performance recycled containerboard made entirely from 100% recovered fiber. As the ramp-up phase continues, Mondi remains committed to ensuring consistent quality across production. These lightweight, durable grades of containerboard are especially well-suited for corrugated packaging used in eCommerce and consumer goods—two sectors with increasing demand for cost-efficient, fully recyclable packaging solutions.
“Starting up this machine on time is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team,” said Markus Gärtner, CEO of Mondi Corrugated Packaging. “With Mondi Duino now fully integrated into our production network, we’re in an even stronger position to meet customer needs across Europe and beyond with sustainable, high-quality solutions.”
This facility joins Mondi’s expanding network of containerboard mills, bringing the total to six globally. By adding Duino to its value chain, the company strengthens not only its production capacity but also its supply chain resilience—delivering greater reliability and flexibility to customers. The site is expected to play a key role in optimizing supply dynamics and ensuring consistent availability of recycled paper materials for corrugated applications.
In line with their sustainability commitments, the Duino mill aims to source raw materials locally whenever feasible. This approach supports regional economies and helps reduce the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation. It also contributes to their broader climate goals by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chain.
As the company looks ahead, the successful commissioning of the Duino mill is a clear signal of its continued investment in sustainable growth, circular innovation, and the future of eco-friendly packaging. With its expanded production footprint and a steadfast focus on quality and environmental stewardship, they are well positioned to meet the evolving needs of its customers and drive forward a more sustainable packaging industry.
