Material efficiency is based on the relation of<br />
produced paper (net saleable paper, NSP) to<br />
production loss. Production loss is the<br />
amount of purification sludge (external) and<br />
paper produced but disposed of (rejected<br />
product, unsuited for internal re-use). To facilitate<br />
objective comparisons, the bulk streams<br />
are first converted to 100% adro (100% dry<br />
substance share).<br />
Below is an overview of material efficiency,<br />
one of the key indicators in the EMAS III provisions,<br />
for paper production at <strong>Sappi</strong> Nijmegen<br />
BV.<br />
3.5 Soil<br />
3.5.1 Soil preservation<br />
The presence of certain potential sources for<br />
soil pollution within <strong>Sappi</strong> Nijmegen B.V. is<br />
inherently linked to the production process.<br />
On locations where this is the case, floors<br />
have been protected with liquid-proof layers,<br />
resistant to the chemicals used in the mill.<br />
This applies to:<br />
• work place floors<br />
• floors in storage areas for chemicals and<br />
oils<br />
• floor of the boiler house<br />
Target (related to disposal)<br />
No soil emissions<br />
All storage locations within <strong>Sappi</strong> Nijmegen<br />
B.V. have been equipped with adequate pro-<br />
Net Paper production Sales (NPS)<br />

Material efficiency<br />
visions to minimize the chance of soil pollution.<br />
This has been assessed in compiling the<br />
BRD (BodemRisicoDocument – Soil Risk Document),<br />
according to the NRB methodology.<br />
All measures proposed in this document have<br />
been implemented. In 2006, the document<br />
has been updated and new measures have<br />
been planned and implemented based on the<br />
new findings.<br />
3.5.2 Soil sanitation<br />
Target (related to disposal)<br />
Prevention of further spreading of present<br />
pollution<br />
Current status<br />
In the context of BSB, an exploratory investigation<br />
was conducted on the premises of<br />
<strong>Sappi</strong> Nijmegen BV in 1996, followed up by<br />
additional studies on specific locations. External<br />
consultants then suggested recommendations<br />
in a monitoring plan, which has<br />
been approved by BSB. The plan lists locations<br />
eligible for monitoring, also indicating<br />
frequency and phasing. The monitoring plan<br />
has been carried out by <strong>Sappi</strong> Nijmegen BV<br />
until January 1, 2008, when BSB Gelderland<br />
suspended its activities and the file was taken<br />
over by the City of Nijmegen.<br />
In consultation with the City of Nijmegen, a<br />
start has been made to update the previous<br />
soil surveys, to be followed by risk assessment<br />
as to severity and urgency of the existing<br />
situation. In 2008, the authorities in<br />
