Made from renewable raw material

When producing paperboard, the basic ingredients are wood, water and energy.

Wood

We operate with renewable wood as our raw material, as we strive to minimize environmental impact and deliver high-quality, sustainable paperboard products.

Water

Discover the water consumption in our paperboard production, how it recirculates and cleans process water, and how we protect the water environment around our mills.

Energy

We commit to reducing carbon emissions by utilizing non-fossil fuels and renewable sources to power production at our paperboard mills.

The art of growing forests

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.

Our production facilities

Within Holmen Board and Paper we produce two types of paperboard: solid bleached board at the mill in Iggesund, Sweden and folding box board at the mill in Workington, England, and at our converting plant in Strömsbruk in Sweden, we can add further value to our paperboard.

Iggesund Mill

With roots dating back to 1685, the mill in Iggesund is one of the world's most advanced pulp and paperboard mills.

Workington Mill

Our mill in the UK produces premium FBB using almost fossil-free bioenergy and meeting modern packaging demands.

Strömsbruk

Strömsbruk Mill is where we add further value to our paperboards by applying various barriers, films and foils.

Protecting ecosystems for a sustainable future

Biodiversity is an important and integrated part of Holmen’s work. Everything in nature is connected. To create a more sustainable future, we all need to manage our resources carefully and protect the ecosystems.
