The Joutseno mill has a long history. Pulp has been produced on the banks of Lake Saimaa for more than a hundred years. The Joutseno mill is the world's largest single-line softwood pulp mill, and a world leader in efficiency and environmental management.
The pulp mill produces more bioenergy than it needs. It utilises wood efficiently by producing bioenergy and biochemicals in addition to pulp. Energy is produced in the combustion of cooking liquor, bark and wood chips. Thanks to a gas generating plant, the mill is a carbon neutral pulp mill during normal operation.
