Billerud is a world-leading company in high performance paper and packaging materials – passionately committed to sustainability, quality, and customer value. We serve customers in more than 100 countries with renewable and recyclable products made from fiber sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Our history in the forestry and paper industry spans more than 150 years. Today, our materials are used in packaging and paper products relied on by millions of people across the world every day. Across our nine production units in Sweden, Finland, and the United States, we manufacture materials that our customers convert into milk cartons, fruit boxes, beauty packaging, carrier bags, cement sacks, labels, and high-end magazines – just to name a few applications.
Our purpose is to make high performance packaging materials for a low carbon society. That’s why we work continuously to reduce our carbon footprint, and to make products that help our customers do the same. We see it as our responsibility to enable the best packaging choices, for our customers and for a better tomorrow. Billerud’s climate targets for 2030 were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2024, followed by the approval of our long-term net-zero targets for 2050 – important milestones in our commitment to a society with lower CO2 emissions.
Through continuous innovation we develop stronger, lighter and more durable materials that enable outstanding product performance, as well as lower emissions. In the 1950s, we produced the world’s first liquid packaging board for beverages. Since then, we have introduced several breakthrough materials that replace fossil-based packaging – such as ConFlex® HeatSeal, a fiber-based alternative to plastic wrapping for interior, hygiene, and industrial applications, and Performance Barrier, which replaces plastic film in industrial sacks.
At Billerud, safety always comes first. It is the foundation of how we work, and we have a zero-accident vision. The reason is simple: no one at Billerud should be injured while at work.
In short, we are committed to staying at the forefront, not only when it comes to safety and developing high performance packaging materials, but also in helping accelerate the shift towards a future with lower greenhouse gas emissions.
