Fiber and pulp production at Lenzing: closing loops and driving change

From raw material to fiber, each production step has the potential to impact the environment. To manage this, we processes designed for efficient use of materials and energy.

Recovery systems capture process inputs and reuse them within production or convert them into co-products, helping to reduce waste and emissions. Water used in production is treated using site-specific wastewater treatment systems before discharge, in line with defined environmental standards.

At integrated production sites in Lenzing (Austria), Paskov (Czech Republic), and Indianópolis (Brazil), energy generated during pulp production is reused within the process or supplied externally. This contributes to a high level of energy self-sufficiency at these sites.

Responsible production also extends to our raw material sourcing. We apply defined sourcing standards, including certification requirements and supplier controls, that are intended to reduce the risk of sourcing from controversial or high-risk regions. More than 99% of our wood and pulp inputs are covered by recognized certification schemes such as FSC® and PEFC.
