Stora Enso Launches New Ecoboard Plus Linerboard

Stora Enso, Helsinki, Finland, reports that its Barcelona Mill in Spain is bringing a new linerboard to market. The 230 gsm Ecoboard Plus can be used as the liner (surface) of e- or f-sized microflute board. Suitable end uses for packages made of this type of multi-layer board are numerous, ranging from bag-in-box wine packages to durable boxes for toys or different electric or electronic devices.

Ecoboard Plus is the fourth board brand from Barcelona Mill along with three Triplex brands that are available in a number of different grammages. It will be produced to serve especially the Southern and Western European market.

"Our new board has already been tested by a few customers, and the results are promising. Ecoboard Plus has a higher brightness and whiteness than other boards produced at Barcelona Mill, and it is a truly sustainable alternative for packaging. Market needs forced us to rethink and develop this high quality product, which complies with our mission to be an environmentally friendly board producer," said Juan Torras, sales director of Stora Enso for Spain and Portugal.
