The forest supplies us with strong, fresh and reusable wood fiber. Our paper mills, with industrial processes run by biofuels, produces the range of products that we believe is the future of kraftliner. This enable us to be a true sustainable partner for the future.
SCA Containerboard is made from a renewable resource. Our exceptionally strong, fresh wood fibre from responsible managed forests in northern Sweden not only means superior results and durability. It also means a more sustainable, higher-quality product cycle because the fresh fibre can be reused many times, thereby securing raw material for new products. In short, by using SCA Containerboard you’re helping to care for the environment through more efficient use of resources. Which brings us all closer to a better, more sustainable world.
We do everything to work as sustainably as possible. With 2.6 million hectares, an area almost as large as the whole of Belgium, we are Europe's largest private forest owner – and our responsibly managed forests are growing every year! In addition, we can be proud that our forests absorb more carbon dioxide than the emission of our entire production.
SCA Containerboard is chain-of-custody certified in accordance with FSC™ (FSC™ C013162) and PEFC (PEFC/05-33-132) standards and offers both FSC™-and PEFC-certified forest products. Our environmental, quality, energy and occupational health and safety management systems are all certified according to ISO standards.
SCA is one of the world’s largest suppliers of FSC™-and PEFC-certified forest products. The certification means that the company complies with the guidelines for responsible forestry.
SCA was first to present a yearly report of the total climate benefit in its 2018 Annual Report. Skogforsk has been responsible for the administration and development of the calculation model for climate benefit since 2023. This enables reporting to be harmonized with national reporting. The model is being improved in pace with new research and will also become an ISO standard.
Nothing should go to waste in our operations. We ensure that the entire tree is used in the best possible way and processed into sustainable products or utilized for energy production. Recycling, reduced emissions and increased energy efficiency are, of course, also important matters.
The forest’s green cycle is unique. It provides the opportunity to borrow carbon dioxide from nature’s green carbon cycle. In this way, it is possible to create sustainable products that do not contribute any new carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
