Arctic Paper Kostrzyn has been supplying high-quality uncoated graphic paper under the Amber brand to Europe for many years. These products are used in modern printing and processing, including the production of books, brochures, documents, and envelopes. The company has developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy that covers the entire supply chain. One example of such efforts is the advanced heat recovery system, which increases energy efficiency in production by reusing heat, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, ongoing investments in solar power plants have increased the share of renewable energy in the mill’s overall energy consumption.
