Mondi Duino marks start-up of recycled containerboard mill with international customers in Italy

22 September 2025 – Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, welcomed international customers and partners to celebrate the start-up of its Duino mill in Italy following the successful conversion of its existing paper machine into a high-quality recycled containerboard machine. The event underlined Mondi’s commitment to supporting customers with sustainable, fit-for-purpose packaging and showcased the production capabilities of its recycled containerboard machine.

Once fully ramped up, the paper machine will produce 420,000 tonnes of high-quality recycled containerboard annually, increasing Mondi’s integration and enhancing security of supply for customers. The mill’s product portfolio includes waste-based fluting, starting with 80 gsm, testliner from 90 gsm upwards, and paper reels from 0.95 m to 3.35 m on Mondi’s widest recycled paper machine. Mondi Duino offers short delivery distances to local and neighbouring markets while also serving international customers through nearby ports.

“Launching this mill on time shows the strength and commitment of our team and is illustrative of our long-term promise to our containerboard customers. With this paper machine, we are investing in their future too – ensuring resilient supply, sustainable packaging products, great service and the opportunity to grow together,” said Klaus Peller, COO Mondi Containerboard.

Mondi’s comprehensive containerboard portfolio offers a wide range of paper grades, from fully recycled to 100% virgin fibre, providing sustainable, high-performance packaging for various applications. With Mondi Duino now part of Mondi’s integrated value chain, customers benefit from a broad choice of containerboard solutions and an expanded network of six containerboard mills worldwide.
