PASSIONATELY COMMITED TO SUSTAINABILITY
For over 150 years, Billerud has been a leader in paper and packaging materials. We share a deep respect for the forest and are passionate about creating sustainable solutions. The world needs packaging, but it should come at minimum expense of the environment. That’s why responsibly sourced raw materials are used to produce high-performance packaging materials that are renewable, recyclable, and reusable. At Billerud, we believe every aspect of packaging can be improved and that more sustainable solutions are essential tools for shaping a better tomorrow.
Sustainable forestry
Our work begins in the forest. Forests sustain vital ecosystems and support climate regulation, benefiting both society and the environment. Through retention forestry, younger, faster-growing trees can flourish, ensuring a sustainable supply while enhancing CO ₂ storage capacity within the forest. All our wood is traceable and controlled, and we strive to increase the share of certified wood for responsible management and reforestation. We partner with small forest owners, educating and empowering them in sustainable management practices. By working together, we can ensure responsibility and sustainability to create a positive environmental impact for generations to come.
Sustainable technology
At Billerud, we’re committed to minimizing our environmental footprint through innovative technologies. We produce 98% of our process energy from renewable biomass, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. We also use the excess heat to warm thousands of surrounding homes and a 100,000 square meter greenhouse where tomatoes grow. Our water treatment plant also ensures negligible impact on nature. We specialize in developing highperformance products that are entirely recyclable, making our European packaging material portfolio the first to be third-party assessed as 100% recyclable.
Sustainable logistics
Our efficient and reliable logistics can play a crucial role in reducing your Scope 3 emissions. We prioritize on-time delivery while utilizing trains for 70% of outbound transportation from our European facilities, with ambitions to further increase this figure. Co-locating our pulp and paper packaging production facilities adds another efficiency advantage, optimizing logistics and minimizing transportation.
Sustainable advisory for wiser decisions
We collaborate closely with brand owners and converters, leveraging decades of know-how in sustainable packaging. Our high-performance materials enable lightweighting, reducing both costs and carbon footprint. With services like packaging optimization and performance testing, we ensure your packaging meets high standards of efficiency and environmental responsibility. We proactively guide the transition to a circular economy, helping you achieve the perfect balance between efficiency and sustainability.
