The Mannheim plant is Essity’s largest tissue plant in Europe with an annual production capacity of 283,000 tons of tissue. Annually, the company will regionally source 70,000 tons of straw that will become about 35,000 tons of pulp.
The production of paper from straw pulp is part of Essity’s work to increase circularity and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Farmers normally purchase agricultural lime to increase the quality of the soil. SCA started donating its soil improver to local farmers to test the interest. So far, demand has far exceeded expectations.
The goal for Barton is to reduce its disposal tonnage of residuals incrementally each year with a view to a 100% reduction within five years. This in line with SCA's ambition to contribute to a circular society.
“In the months of May and June we applied almost 100% of our residuals on area farmland,” says Andrew Chorney, Technical Services Manager at the Barton site. “Year to date we’ve applied 42% of our residual solids and have already exceeded our goal of 10% reduction of disposal tonnage this year.”
“We also have a very comprehensive management plan to ensure the product that leaves the mill will meet the farmers’ highest expectations. Our contribution to local farmers and the fact that we beneficially reuse material otherwise landfilled helps to strengthen SCA’s environmental profile, which makes us all happy.”
Other sites in North America are also planning to follow Barton’s example in the coming months.
