WK Kellogg ahead of schedule for cutting BHT in cereal packaging

WK Kellogg will fully remove artificial colors and the preservative BHT from its cereals and packaging later this year, nearly 12 months ahead of schedule — a move the company hopes will provide much-needed momentum to a category that has struggled during the last decade. Butylated hydroxytoluene is a human-made chemical preservative to prevent oils or fats from turning rancid or otherwise deteriorating the quality of processed foods. It’s often added to packaging, such as plastic or wax linings, instead of to the processed food products, and it has been shown to migrate into food.

Sappi expands recyclable, high-barrier paper portfolio for primary packaging

Sappi Europe is strengthening its position as a leader in sustainable packaging with the launch of Guard Pro OHS and Guard Pro OMH. These two recyclables, mono-material papers, deliver high-barrier protection without compromising production efficiency. Designed to help brand owners meet tightening EU packaging regulations such as the PPWR, the new solutions offer a paper-based alternative to plastic and multilayer foils that is ready for today’s fast-paced manufacturing lines. The paper is available in two finishes: Natural (62, 72 and 92 g/m²), and Gloss (77, 87 and 102 g/m²). It is suitable for direct food contact and complies with toy safety standards, making it ideal for both food and non-food packaging that require secure seal integrity and safety assurance. Typical applications include snacks, dry foods, ice cream flow wrap, hygiene products, and children’s items, where safety, freshness, and compliance are key.

Kaskinen BCTMP mill aims for fossil free production by the end of 2030

Metsä Board's BCTMP mill in Kaskinen produces high-quality pulp for Husum mill in Sweden and domestic board mills. The next goal of the modern mill is fossil free production.

On the west coast of Finland Kaskinen is home to one of Europe’s largest and most modern bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp mills. The mill is now aiming for fossil free production by the end of 2030, in line with Metsä Group's targets. "In 2018, the mill's capacity was increased, and since then there have been several smaller investments and improvements made to our processes which has moved the mill forward. Our position at Metsä Board is pivotal, as our pulp is used in the production of folding boxboards. A significant part of our pulp goes to the Husum mill in Sweden, where recent investments have been made to increase production volumes of folding boxboard.
