Pöyry launches Green Mill Index(TM) for the pulp and paper industry: A comprehensive new tool to calculate the environmental impact of a mill
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PÖYRY PLC Press release 5 September 2011 at 11.30 a.m.
Pöyry has released an index for analyzing the environmental sustainability of
pulp and paper mills.
"In many companies sustainability is connected to the company principles and
needs to be communicated to various stakeholders. Currently there are no
standards available that put all the relevant factors together in a way that
gives a comprehensive overview. The Green Mill Index was developed to fill this
need", comments Ms Päivi Käki, a technology specialist at Pöyry.
The Pöyry Green Mill Index(TM) represents the relations of different indicators
and overall environmental performance of a mill. As a result, it brings together
all pertinent information in a manner that is easy to understand. The outcome of
the analysis is valuable for example for measuring environmental sustainability,
as a benchmarking or due diligence tool, or as a means of pinpointing weak areas
that need performance improvements.
"Thinking green is not only good for the environment", reminds Ms Käki, "but it
can also provide improvements in efficiency that have a direct impact on the
bottom line. By seeing the full picture, you can understand what areas to
target."
Many of the indicators used in Pöyry's Green Mill Index(TM) are based on
European Commission standards for best available technology, known as BAT
levels. For example, the Green Mill indicators for emissions and efficiency
refer to the BAT levels. Other indicators are based on actual statistical data
collected from several mills.
The Green Mill Index(TM) is a natural extension to Pöyry's services dedicated to
balanced sustainability and continuous improvement. As a leading consulting and
engineering company in the pulp and paper industry, Pöyry is committed to
designing mills that are technologically advanced, operationally efficient and
meet stringent environmental standards.
