BERLIN (AP) — Archaeologists say a 3rd century sarcophagus found in what is now western Germany contained the remains of a young Roman woman who was buried along with perfume bottles The Landesmuseum in Bonn said Monday that the massive stone coffin contained an unusual wealth of beauty products pins and a folding knife with a handle in the shape of a Hercules figure The 4 1/2-ton sarcophagus was discovered along the route of an ancient highway connecting the Roman empire settlements of Trevorum and Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium — now the German cities of Trier and Cologne Archaeologists kept their discovery last year secret until further graves in the area had been investigated Smurfit Kappa Group has completed a large-scale sustainability project at its Zülpich paper mill in Germany which significantly reduces the plant’s CO2 emissions The €11.5m investment included a major redesign of the plant’s multi-fuel boiler to provide a more sustainable fuel source for the generation of steam and electricity The mill is now powered by a combination of its own biogas which is a by-product of its circular water treatment plant and the residual materials or so-called "rejects" which occur in the paper recycling process that would otherwise be considered waste The mill's boiler will also use rejects from the Parenco and Roermond plants The project reduces CO2 emissions at the Zülpich paper mill by more than 25 per cent and saves 55,000 tpy of CO2 which represents a 2 per cent reduction in Smurfit Kappa’s global carbon emissions The company has the goal of achieving a 55 per cent intensity reduction in fossil CO2 emissions by 2030 and at least net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 CEO of the Smurfit Kappa Recycled Paper Cluster said: “The unveiling of this state-of-the-art multi-fuel boiler is yet another example of how The project shows that economic efficiency and sustainability are by no means mutually exclusive but can go together hand in hand taking the mill on a very positive journey.” Managing Director of the Zülpich paper mill added: “We are delighted to have this high-performing new boiler up and running This investment has reinforced our commitment to a circular business model By turning side streams from the paper manufacturing process such as the rejects and biogas into steam and electricity we are well on track to meet our sustainability targets." Smurfit Kappa has 200 employees and produces nearly 500,000 tpy of brown recycled containerboard The mill is currently planning a series of initiatives over the coming months to further enhance its sustainability performance Service Customer Service+49 7224 9397-701 servicenoSpam@GO-AWAYeuwid.de Editorial Team+49 7224 9397-0 papernoSpam@GO-AWAYeuwid.com Get the latest news about developments and trends in the industry sent to you once a week free of charge by newsletter Sign up for our newsletter We use cookies and external services on our website others enhance your user experience or help us improve this website You can change your privacy settings any time by clicking privacy policy Necessary cookies are required for the correct functioning of the website Content from video platforms and map services is blocked by default.
