Tork manufacturer SCA has invested
£15m in state-of-the-art equipment
for its Tyne Valley production site.

The move will inject funding into
the local economy and create
employment.

The money has been used to fund
two separate projects. The first is a
new production line that enables
SCA to produce Tork zigzag-fold
towels in the UK for the first time, a
move that will result in major carbon
footprint reductions throughout the
supply chain.
The second project concerns a
new de-inking plant which will
increase the capacity of recycled
tissue fibre in the UK by ‘de-inking’
fibres in recovered paper.
