So strong it can be lightweighted
Our paper is validated by ISTA Tests and through the shipping of 300 million bags/year. It is also validated by machine producers. The paper is so strong and robust, it can be lightweighted (80-120 gsm). This means more sustainable logistics at a lower total cost. And even with a lower grammage, our paper bags deliver on sturdiness and strength.
Ridestore made the switch with a skilled network
Swedish e-fashion company Ridestore switched from plastic to paper by working with highly skilled partners (e-com specialist Tingstad and converter Jonsac) from prototype to launch. The switch was a success among Ridestore’s young target groups.
Validated runnability
Our paper is validated with leading converting machines for pre-made bags and automated packaging. You can rely on Billerud’s extensive network of machine manufacturers and converters in Europe.
New market demands
Consumers demand brand owners to provide paper packaging. An IPSOS survey from 2021 shows that 75% of consumers across 28 countries agree that single-use plastics should be banned as soon as possible. There are also new regulatory demands coming in, like The European Commission’s proposal for a Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD).

Fight climate change with paper mailing bags
Our production has low CO2 emissions due to integrated mills and 97% fossil-free production. When RISE (Swedish research institute) performed an LCA study, the result was clear: Bags made of Xpression E-com paper reduce CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere over a life cycle, while plastic bags add CO2. Take part in the LCA study to learn more.
This LCA was the missing piece we needed to make a paper based solution the obvious choice.
