Emissions Reductions
At Millicent Mill, where we make our Kleenex® family of products, we have been working hard for a number of years to reduce the amount of energy consumed, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create energy efficiencies. As part of these efforts, we installed an innovative $33 million cogeneration facility which plays a critical role in making Millicent Mill more energy efficient and reducing carbon emissions. Millicent Mill has been recognised with a number of prestigious industry awards relating to this facility, including: • ABA100 Winner in both Innovation and Technology categories in The Australian Business Awards 2014, acknowledging our commitment to driving sustainable solutions. • Banksia Foundation Award – Environment Minister’s Award for a Cleaner Environment, recognising Millicent Mill for its contribution towards achieving the objective of a cleaner, healthier, environment and a more resilient sustainable Australia. This includes more than halving the site’s energy and carbon footprint over 5 years, assisted by the start-up of the cogeneration facility, which takes the mill largely off the electricity grid.
