UPM STEYRERMÜHL, ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE IN 2012
First established in 1868, the mill has developed into a determining factor for the industrialisation of the community of Laakirchen in Upper Austria. Two modern paper machines produce up to 500,000 tonnes per annum of high-quality printing papers.
Our three-stage biological treatment plant cleans both the mill’s effl uents and the municipal wastewater of the Laakirchen area. Combined heat and power plants make sure that primary energy is used effectively. Process residues are incinerated in the fl uidised bed boiler operated by Entsorgungs- und Energieverwertungsgesellschaft (EEVG), a subsidiary of UPM Steyrermühl and Laakirchen Papier AG (former SCA Laakirchen).
The sawmill is a 100% subsidiary of UPM Steyrermühl and produces up to 400,000 m3 of sawn timber. Sawmill residues are used as a raw material for paper-making. The Group’s wood sourcing function supplies both the paper mill and the sawmill with wood from sustainably managed forests.
The Laakirchen pollution control association has set up a state-of-the-art landfi ll site which is operated according to the requirements of the new landfi ll regulation.
UPM leads the integration of bio and forest industries into a new, sustainable and innovation-driven future. Our products are made of renewable raw materials and are recyclable. UPM consists of three Business Groups: Energy and pulp, Paper, and Engineered materials. The Group employs around 22,000 people. UPM is present in 67 countries and have production units in 17 countries. UPM’s annual sales exceed EUR 10 billion. UPM’s shares are listed on the Helsinki stock exchange.

UPM STEYRERMÜHL, ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE IN 2012
Environmental performance in 2012
Environmental protection has a long tra-dition at Steyrermühl. When new produc-tion plants were built at the beginning of the 1980s, major investments were also made into environmental protection, espe-cially in effl uent treatment, energy sup-ply and waste management. As far back as in 1994, Steyrermühl implemented a quality management system, which over the years has been developed into an integrated management system for qual-ity, environment, fi re prevention and occu-pational health and safety. Our active mill fi re brigade forms the basis for effective risk and emergency management. Staffed by specially trained volunteers, it is able to provide effective response in case of an emergency together with the fi re and rescue services from the surrounding com-munities. The wood sourcing organisation gained Chain-of-Custody and PEFC certi-fi cation for sustainable forestry practices as far back as in 2001. Our products continuously meet the stringent require-ments of European eco-logos. Most of our products have been FSC-certifi ed since 2008.
Our environmental focus areas in 2012 can be summarised as follows (see page 6, Performance against targets):By successfully using ash as a soil sta-biliser in earth works, we were able to maintain a high recovery rate, which was again in excess of 100%. Most of the ash is commercialised under the brand
name “Cinerit”. Fibre pulp was produced largely without complexing agents. Our water management achieved signifi cant savings and we were able to reduce energy consumption and fi bre losses. We will further improve our performance through on-going evaluation of our processes and consistent action.Gaining product status for ash was pre-requisite for permanently securing a high recovery rate. Maintaining the currently
high level will be a big challenge for us, as there are currently no major pro-jects planned, such as, for example, the extensive fl ood protection projects. In order to further reduce fresh water con-sumption and effl uent generation, we will get actively involved in the group-wide “Material Effi ciency Programme”. The focus of our objectives for the com-ing years will continue to be on energy and water saving measures and reducing fi bre losses in all areas of production.

Airborne emissions
Production and raw materials Effl uents
Natural gas consumption was fairly con-stant, while there was a slight increase in external power supply. Specifi c CO2 emissions remained approximately con-stant from 2010 to 2011 and we achieved a reduction in NOX emissions thanks to higher production effi ciency.
Production was up by 14,400 t in com-parison with the previous year. Recovered paper consumption dropped slightly by 3,200 t (–1.2%). No complexing agents were used for pulp bleaching.
Thanks to water-saving measures, the total effl uent volume decreased by 14%, with the specifi c volume down by 3,1 m3/t. The annual COD load of effl u-ents discharged from the treatment plant remained constant at 2.68 kg/t.

We were able to step up the quantity of fl uidised bed boiler ash bought by both cement works and other customers. The recovery rate (including also material tem-porarily deposited in landfi ll) was signifi -cantly in excess of 100%.
