SCA works actively to make use of the entire tree and all parts of residual streams. The most valuable part of the tree is refined in the sawmills into wooden products. Some of these become window components, painted panels or shelves. Just over half of the log becomes solid wood products. The rest becomes wood chips for pulp production or shavings that are processed into pellets. The bark is used for energy production.
We are driven by the force of the forest
The core of SCA's business is the growing forest.

Efficient nature conservation with the portable fire
SCA has tried a new method for implementing fire-mimicking measures in pine forests. By using a so-called "portable fire," manufactured by Retrå Resource Operations, it is possible to conduct targeted burning of pines for conservation purposes. The portable fire causes damage that resembles what occurs to pines during controlled conservation burnings.
New crane enhances service at Sundsvall terminal
SCA Logistics terminal in Sundsvall has invested in a new knuckle boom crane, a Mantsinen 200. This gives a possibility to offer even better service.
SCA's letter to FSC International
SCA has recently sent a letter to FSC International to initiate a dialogue about necessary changes to ensure a more functional and practical forest management standard. The full letter is available on this page.
Strength to make a difference
In several ways the forest industry underpins the Swedish economy and climate policy. We are one of the world’s largest exporters of pulp, paper and sawn timber, contributing to employment throughout Sweden and global climate benefit.
An important part of the strength is to replace fossil products with renewable alternatives from the forest. You can read more about why substitution is so important at the Swedish Forest Industries website.
