Sappi Tugela Mill plays a major role in leading packaging innovation in South Africa and is the only mill in the country to offer high performance containerboard packaging. This allows customers to develop lightweight boxes which will retain their strength in cold storage conditions. Further benefits to the converter include improved flexibility, increased speed for the corrugator and raw material optimisation. Its lightweight characteristics allow for alternative paper combination, equal strength, better yield, cost advantage and uncompromised performance. Their Ultraflute and Ultratest liner product grammage weight ranges from 125 to 180g. In addition, the mill owns and operates its own landfill site which is operated commercially with a 10 year waste management licence obtained in 2011.
