Let's co-create the future

At Billerud we are challenging conventional packaging for a sustainable future. But not just by keeping to ourselves. We are convinced that working together with other companies, research institutes and partners is the best way to new thinking for better packaging materials, solutions and a circular approach.

That is why we are joining forces with the world's leading experts on technology, design, brand and more to break new ground. Driven by our curiosity, we believe that change starts with finding new perspectives and asking questions: What if fibre-based solutions could reduce plastics in our oceans? And what if smart product features could enable packaging beyond imagination? By co-creating the future of packaging, we open new doors and help improve everyday life. Welcome to join us on our journey.

Treesearch

We are convinced that working together with other companies, universities and research institutes is the best way to tap into new thinking concerning improved packaging materials, solutions and a circular approach. One way to achieve this is the initiative Treesearch, a Swedish collaboration platform for fundamental research, knowledge and competence-building in the field of new and improved materials and speciality chemicals from forest raw material. The initiative involves the academic community, industry, private foundations and the Swedish government, with the aim of converting fundamental and pioneering research into hi-tech innovations to meet the challenges posed by climate change.
