SCA and seven other Swedish forest companies as well as the forest machinery manufacturer Komatsu Forest, have jointly developed a new forest machine for low-impact forestry. The concept machine, called Centipede - has with its innovative technology three important benefits: Lower soil compaction, increased productivity and better work environment. The machine is built to reduce the risk of ground damage, to increase transport speed and to reduce whole-body vibrations for the operator.

Limiting global warming is one of today's biggest challenges. As a forest company, we want to contribute and be part of the solution. Now we set a new goal and increase our climate benefit from 10 to 15 million tons of carbon dioxide per year by 2030 (base year 2019). The long-term goal is a fossil-free value chain. By 2030, we have set the goal of halving fossil emissions in the value chain.

SCA is building a new paper machine for the production of kraftliner at the Obbola paper mill in Umeå. The annual production will increase from the current 450,000 tonnes to 725,000 tonnes of kraftliner to meet the growing demand for renewable packaging.
The incinerator will reduce costs and also emissions and odor nuisances from Östrands pulp mill. It will improve the local environment in the surrounding area. SCA invests 90 MSEK, and the project is expected to be completed and in operation in the second quarter of 2023.
