Expanding its LINTEC® labelstock portfolio, Mactac® announces the addition of retro-reflective films to its product line-up. Designed for label applications such as warehouse racking, pallet labels, safety, and warning labels, construction signage, and industrial labeling, the retro-reflective films are ideal for barcode scanning. The films are constructed from a polyester material uniquely embedded with glass beads that enable long-range barcode scanning – up to 50-feet. Retro-reflective films feature long-term indoor durability and 1 to 2 years outdoor durability. “The glass beads give the retro-reflective polyester films a light silver appearance and allow barcode scanning from a distance, making them great for warehouses and other applications where pallets or products are often stacked and harder to reach,” said Cassandra Semonin, Marketing Manager, Mactac Performance Adhesives.

Suzano S.A. informs its shareholders and the public that, regarding the project “Partial retrofit of the pulp production plant located in Aracruz involving the replacement of parts in the recovery boiler and installation of a crystallization system”, as disclosed in the Material Fact notice dated December 19, 2019, the following is planned during its implementation phase in the fourth quarter of 2022: • Temporary downtime of the A line production for around 45 days due to interventions in the recovery boiler; • No adjustments to the Company’s original operating plan for 2022, which will ensure that clients’ needs are fully met without any changes to the commercial strategy.

Ahlstrom-Munksjö is investing in new technology and converting its existing boilers at its Mosinee and Rhinelander plants in Wisconsin, United States, to reduce its carbon emissions and landfill waste. These investments at the Mosinee production plant will enable a reduction in its carbon footprint by an estimated 20%, and a reduction of landfill waste by more than 10%. The project is estimated to be completed at the end of the second quarter in 2023. In addition, the Rhinelander production plant is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 14% and landfill waste by more than 50%. A new energy center and associated buildings at Rhinelander will consolidate and simplify energy operations, enabling the plant to house a future boiler and a heat recovery steam generator. The project will commence immediately and is estimated to be completed in the third quarter of 2023.
