Metsä Fibre’s new bioproduct mill in the central Finland is set to be the largest investment in Finnish forestry history, with a total value of €1.2 billion. Once completed, the mill will be the world’s first next generation bioproduct mill. As well as producing approximately 1.3 million tons of pulp per year, it will produce a range of other bioproducts, such as tall oil, turpentine, bioelectricity and wood fuel.
