Jurgen Heindl, CEO and Chairman of Progroup AG emphasises: "We are systematically pursuing our Green Hightech Philosophy with this project; and with the environment at the forefront of our minds we are consciously investing in state-of-the-art equipment." The new paper factory is being built on a construction site covering an area of 450,000 square metres. As well as the new paper machine, which is to be built by the globally active machine-builder Voith Paper, a second stage of the project will also include the construction of an RDF power plant which will use its energy-efficient design to supply the new high-performance paper machine with power and steam, thus largely freeing the paper factory from its dependence on fossil fuels. The impurities contained in recovered paper will be converted into heat in the site's own RDF power plant. Lastly, the paper factory will be equipped with an optimised water system and the company will invest in ultra-modern wastewater treatment.
