On Thursday 22 January 2026, SteamDry joined Valmet’s “Beyond Circularity: Closing the Circle Together” closing event in Helsinki, Finland, where ecosystem partners gathered to share results from four years of joint circularity and green transition projects. For SteamDry, as part of the Beyond Circularity ecosystem, this was a unique stage to show how superheated steam drying supports electrified, low‑emission paper and board production as part of Valmet’s Beyond Circularity program.
Beyond Circularity is Valmet’s multi‑year R&D and ecosystem program aimed at transforming waste and emissions into valuable resources, accelerating the green transition across process industries. The ecosystem brings together hundreds of partners in co‑research and co‑innovation projects, ranging from new recycling concepts and biorefining to resource‑efficient, automated and digitalized industrial processes.
Together, participants joined SteamDry and the wider ecosystem in celebrating the achievements of Beyond Circularity and planning the next wave of collaboration.
