SCA Containerboard places strong emphasis on the renewability and recyclability of the raw materials it uses. It strives to offer environmentally-sound products and services, capable of continuously meeting customers’ and consumers’ needs with respect to functionality, economy, safety and environmental impact.
Natural forest
SCA Group, the parent company of SCA Containerboard, owns 2.6 million hectares of forestland in northern Sweden. There, the entire ecosystem is protected, nurturing a wide variety of wildlife, including bear, eagles and wolves, as well as hundreds of plant species. Most of the raw wood material used in SCA products comes from these forests.
Urban forest
The vast majority of fibre used by SCA Containerboard is recovered fibre provided by SCA Recycling. SCA Recycling employs approximately 500 employees in 8 European countries. The annual recovered paper consumption of SCA is about 3.5 million tonnes in Europe.
Environmental commitment
SCA Containerboard’s environmental programmes and actions focus on managing and minimising the environmental impact in every phase of our products’ life cycle. This policy is implemented through specific commitments with measurable targets and clear timelines. Commitments cover such areas as reducing water consumption, specific organic content, and CO2 emissions relative to production levels. In addition, the SCA code of conduct requirements will continue to be integrated into existing supplier performance management systems.
As of March 2001, all SCA Containerboard production facilities have been certified according to environmental standard SS-EN ISO 14001. This provides additional assurance that our products easily meet even the strictest supplier environmental requirements that customers may have.
