To comply with the proposed changing EU legislation and to emphasise Metso’s focus on supporting customers with key challenges, Metso is renaming its Planet Positive offering to Metso Plus.

In 2021, Metso launched its Planet Positive approach as a concrete answer to tackling the sustainability challenges of its customer industries. Ever since, the products and services included in Metso’s sustainable portfolio have been important to differentiate the company.

To date, Metso has over 100 products in its portfolio of sustainable products. These products are demonstrably more energy or water efficient than the industry benchmark or Metso’s previous generation products. They provide added benefits to the customers, helping them cut their CO2 emissions, reduce pollution to land, air and soil, increase circularity and safety, and improve productivity, Metso says.

On top of the name change, the former Planet Positive label will change and have a new design.

Marius Verwoerd, Head of Metso’s Sustainability, said: “Our focus is on driving the development of more sustainable solutions together with our customers. We believe that we can enable the biggest positive change by supporting them in their sustainability ambitions while driving the industry towards more sustainable practices.”

Metso Plus builds on the company’s extensive expertise and the reliability of its products and services supporting customers from pit to port, it says. The offering marks Metso’s commitment to go beyond and exceed expectations – by continuously enhancing technologies and providing additional sustainability benefits for both customers and the environment. Metso’s R&D initiatives aim at expanding this portfolio.

The Metso Plus portfolio of equipment, parts and expert services has been designed to deliver more performance to where it’s most needed.
