Modern Paper
Shotton Milll Project
At Modern Paper, we are proud to be part of the Shotton Mill project worth 1 billion pounds, transformative initiative under our parent company that’s redefining the future of paper. Leveraging the strength and capabilities of Shotton Mill, Modern Paper is poised to grow even stronger, delivering greater innovation and sustainability to the industry.

 

Shaping the Industry
With cutting-edge facilities capable of producing 70,000 tonnes of tissue at phase 1 , 210,000 tonnes of tissue at phase 2 and 750,000 tonnes of containerboard annually, Shotton Mill is setting a new standard for innovation and scale. This makes it one of the most advanced paper mills in Europe.

Sustainability at Its Core
The mill’s recycling capabilities are impressive, with the capacity to process all the wastepaper generated in Wales (source: Shotton Mill’s website). By using 100% recycled materials and harnessing low-carbon energy through its state-of-the-art CHP (Combined Heat and Power) facility, the site operates as a fully self-sufficient, eco-friendly powerhouse.

Building Communities
This project is about more than paper—it’s about people and communities. Shotton Mill which will be completed at the end of 2025, will expand from 190 to 850 jobs, injecting £600 million annually into the local economy and creating lasting opportunities.

Shotton Mill is not just a project; it’s a vision for how the paper industry can lead in innovation, sustainability, and community impact. Learn more by visiting Shotton Mill’s website.
