Kompletterande underlag för samråd angående ansökan om tillstånd för utökad produktion av biobaserade formpressade produkter i Tibro, Tibro kommun
PaperShell AB (PaperShell) avser att ansöka om miljötillstånd enligt 9 kap. miljöbalken för planerad utökning av befintlig och utökad produktion av biobaserade formpressade produkter vid bolagets anläggning i Tibro, Tibro kommun. En inbjudan till samråd med tillhörande samrådsunderlag skickades ut till särskilt berörda under v.11 2026. Ett informationsmöte hölls den 14 april i Tibro sporthall.
I samband med att projekteringen av verksamheten har fortgått har PaperShell bedömt att kompletterande information, som inte nämndes i det ursprungliga samrådsunderlaget, bör lämnas. PaperShell bjuder därför in till ett kompletterande samråd. De nya uppgifterna berör en kylanläggning/kylsystem, förtydligande kring luktemissioner, större byggnad samt elenergi som alternativ energikälla samt parallell drift av verksamhet i form av främst prototyptillverkning på labskalenivå på fastigheten Skänken 6.
Mer information om dessa frågor finns i ett kompletterande samrådsunderlag.
Samrådsunderlaget kan även beställas via adressen samrad@geosyntec.com.
Möjlighet att lämna synpunkter
Det kompletterande samrådet kommer ske skriftligen. Något ytterligare möte kommer alltså inte att hållas. Tiden för att inkomma med synpunkter och frågor förlängs till och med den 15 maj 2026. Inkomna frågor och synpunkter kommer att redovisas i en samrådsredogörelse som en del i ansökan som PaperShell planerar att lämna in.
Skriftliga frågor och synpunkter lämnas senast den 15 maj 2026 via e-post: samrad@geosyntec.com eller postadress:

Samråd om miljötillstånd för PaperShells utökade verksamhet i
Tibro
PaperShell AB (PaperShell) är utvecklar och producerar formpressade och fiberbaserade biomaterial. Bolaget avser att ansöka om tillstånd enligt 9 kap. miljöbalken för ökad produktion vid företagets anläggning inom fastigheterna Sekretären 4 (befintlig) och Sekretären 5 (tillkommande) i Tibro. Produktionen utökas till maximalt 17 500 m3 färdig produkt per år och kommer inkludera bland annat impregnering samt produktion av biokol. Verksamheten är tillståndspliktig och omfattas även av industriutsläppsförordningen (2013:250). Vid behov kommer ansökan även omfatta erforderliga dispenser.
Eftersom verksamheten kan antas medföra betydande miljöpåverkan bjuder PaperShell in allmänheten och berörda till avgränsningssamråd enligt 6 kap. miljöbalken. Syftet är att informera och inhämta synpunkter på verksamhetens lokalisering, omfattning, miljöeffekter och innehållet i den miljökonsekvensbeskrivning som ska tas fram. De huvudsakliga miljöeffekterna bedöms vara buller, transporter, energiförbrukning och utsläpp till luft och olycksrisker samt påverkan på naturvärden i samband med exploateringen.
Ett samrådsunderlag som beskriver planerna finns tillgängligt på www.papershell.se och kan även beställas via samrad@geosyntec.com.
