Paperboard is an excellent choice for sustainable packaging solutions. We use the leftover wood parts from sustainably managed forests to make recyclable paperboard from renewable raw material.

Sustainability
Discover our commitment to sustainability through eco-friendly packaging solutions. Explore our practices and initiatives that prioritize environmental responsibility, renewable materials, and reduced carbon footprint.
Sustainability is important for us as we all need to use our resources wisely. Natural resources such as water, energy, and raw materials are finite, and their depletion can have a significant impact on the earth's ecosystems. Our sustainable practices can reduce our impact on the environment and help to preserve natural resources for future generations.
By being transparent about our practices and performance, we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability to build trust with our stakeholders. It also enables stakeholders to hold us accountable for our social, environmental, and economic impact.
Holmen Iggesund produces paperboard, and we are part of the Holmen Group, a Swedish forest industry group whose business areas all use renewable resources to produce products that are environmentally sound and can replace fossil alternatives.
In this section of our website, you will find answers to the most common questions we get, see films, download Environmental and Carbon Footprint declarations and much more. If you have questions that are not covered here – use one of the contact forms and we will answer you.

Biodiversity
Everything in nature is connected. To create a more sustainable future, we all need to manage our resources carefully and protect the ecosystems.

Sustainable forestry
Forestry is undergoing constant development. The requirements are changing. New knowledge is being added. Forest stewardship must therefore take a long-term perspective and follow the changing requirements in the world at large.
Eco-friendly packaging materials
Through circular production processes paperboard emerges as a sustainable alternative to plastic. Its recyclability and renewability make it a preferred choice.
Renewable raw material
We use the leftover wood parts from sustainably managed forests to make recyclable paperboard from renewable raw material.
