UPM Caledonian
UPM Caledonian, located in Irvine, North Ayrshire, has been in operation since 1989 and is one of the most efficient paper mills of its type in the world. The addition of a combined heat and power plant (CHP), using biomass as a renewable fuel source, is a natural progression for the site which is now able to produce all of its heat requirements and just over half of its electricity needs.
