Botnia's pulp mill in Fray Bentos, Uruguay, has already produced more than 100,000 tons of eucalyptus pulp. The start-up of the mill that was commenced in November has proceeded very well and the adjustments to optimize the process continue. The quality of the pulp complies well with the targeted criteria and the test runs at customers' mills have begun. The deliveries to Europe and China are proceeding with planned schedules. The mill's effluent treatment plant is functioning very well, and the monitoring measurements by the authorities indicate that the air emission and effluent values are below set limits.
