Sustainability

We make high performance packaging materials for a low carbon society. That is why we are proactively taking the lead in the transition to a low carbon society with packaging solutions that are renewable, recyclable and resource efficient.

Our story

The need for packaging is rapidly increasing every year. Most of today’s packaging materials are made from non-renewable materials, such as plastic, which contribute to rising levels of CO2e emissions. We want to challenge this trend by making packaging materials from renewable raw material sourced responsibly. Our materials are not only light, durable and designed to ensure high product quality and food safety standards, but they can also be recycled and reused, minimizing waste.

Our Sustainability Platform

Billerud is uniquely positioned to drive the transition to a low carbon society based on renewable and recyclable raw material from the forest. But to make this a reality, we need to actively push for change where we can contribute the most.

We are therefore focusing our sustainability efforts within the following three focus areas:

Safety first

The foundation of stable production and a zero-injury workplace.

Climate impact

Combatting global warming is the critical issue of our time, and a strategic priority for us.

Materials for the future

Billerud is advancing the technological development of sustainable packaging material that fits into a circular economy.

Our Sustainability Foundation

Our three focus areas are supported by five sustainability foundation areas: Responsible wood supply, responsible supply chain, engaging workplaces, resource efficient production and responsible business.
