14 Oct 2022 --- Smurfit Kappa has invested US$100 million into a biomass boiler powered by organic residue for its paper mill in Yumbo, Colombia. The boiler is replacing fossil fuels with waste from the company’s paper-making process to generate cleaner energy. Organic waste for the boiler will consist of pine and eucalyptus bark from the company’s own forestry plantations, waste from its wood treatment plant and ashes and sludge generated during the paper-manufacturing process.
