To ensure that SCA does not create unnecessary pollution through increased transportation, each mill works with the nearest timber and fibre resources.
SCA takes part in a sharing scheme with other forest owners, where we use another owner's forest if it is nearer to the mill than the company’s own forest. Using as much of the timber as possible is also a key part of our fibre strategy. We produce solid-wood products of the biggest logs. Smaller logs and chips are used in the pulp production. Branches, tree tops and sawdust are used in the wood pellets production, which is a forest based bio-fuels used for heating households.
