Arjowiggins Graphic is investing €1.5 million to enhance the deinking process and improve productivity at its Greenfield pulp mill. Located at Chateau Thierry, east of Paris, Greenfield specialises in the production of recycled bright white, Eco label certified and 100% FSC® certified de-inked pulp – the only manufacturing site of its kind in Europe.

Agnes Roger President of Arjowiggins Graphic comments:
“This investment in our Greenfield de-inking mill will enable us to continue to focus on recycling top quality waste paper to ensure the highest quality, white recycled pulp.”
Greenfield mill is renowned for the production of Cocoon, which is whiter than other 100% recycled papers. This is due to the advanced design of recycling and cleaning process at Greenfield – using biodegradable cleaners and chlorine free bleaches. The result is an eco-friendly paper with a whiteness of 150 CIE (produced for Cocoon Offset ) and 124 CIE (for Cocoon, Maine Gloss Green and Satimat Green coated papers).
Cocoon is exclusively distributed by Antalis and Satimat Green and Maine gloss green are exclusively distributed by Elliott Baxter.
