Langerbrugge's new paper machine will increase Stora Enso's utilisation of recovered fibre. Construction of the newsprint line at Langerbrugge Mill in Belgium is progressing as planned, with the new paper machine due to be in use by the end of May 2003. The machine will produce 400 000 tonnes of paper per year from recovered fibre, in line with Stora Enso Newsprint's aim to increase the use of recovered paper as raw material.
 Langerbrugge Mill is strategically located close to good sources of recovered paper, which will mainly be collected within a 300-kilometre radius. The new newsprint machine will consume approximately 700 000 tonnes of recovered paper per year.
Long-term contracts
Among other contracts, Stora Enso has signed an agreement with the Dutch recycling co-operative VAOP to purchase 2 million tonnes of recovered paper over the next 10 years to be used at the mill. Long-term contracts will help to even out price fluctuations.
