Did you know that …
… you can only recycle fibres a limited number of times? By using primary fibres, you feed the recycling loop and secure availability for recycled fibres for less demanding packaging.
Maximise CO2 absorption
When you choose primary fibres from responsible forestry for your packaging, you help to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. Why? Because growing trees absorb CO2 to be able to grow. Billerud stimulates responsible forestry – that bind huge volumes of CO2 – and the replacement of fossil-based packaging material. The total positive climate effect of Billerud is estimated at 5.4 million tons of CO2-equivalents per year.
