Billerud must never strive for financial success at the expense of future generations. In manufacturing our products we use resources from nature: forests, energy and water. This means that we also take responsibility for minimising the impact on the environment at every step of the process.
We have worked actively for many years
For Billerud, the environmental issue is not a new phenomenon, it has long been a natural part of our business activities and a prerequisite of our long-term survival. Improving production by means of technical innovations and, at the same time, developing environmentally smart packaging solutions is an ongoing process.
Part of an eternal eco-cycle
- Growing forest binds carbon dioxide
- Several new trees are planted for every one tree harvested
- Sweden has more forest than ever before, thanks to effective forestry
- Once paper packaging has been used,the fibres can be re-used four or five times
- Once use of the fibres has been exhausted,
they can be composted or used as biofuel
A minimal environmental impact will always be given a high priority at Billerud.
