10 Sustainability in Packaging Sustainable development in packaging means solutions that satisfy current needs in an optimal way, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Fibre-based boards provide a powerful means of achieving those goals throughout the package’s lifecycle. A Renewable and Recyclable Resource Wood, a renewable and recyclable resource, is the main raw material in Stora Enso packaging boards. Fibre-based packages are well-positioned to mitigate climate change since they act as carbon sinks during their entire lifecycle. Stora Enso applies the principles for sustainable wood and fibre procurement and land management. Growing forests store carbon effectively. When wood is harvested and converted into products, carbon remains bound in the products throughout their lifecycle. Third-party verified traceability systems are used to check that all wood raw material comes from legal and sustainable sources. Energy-Efficient Production The use of the best available techniques at the production sites is equally important. Stora Enso produces paperboard at integrated mill sites, which means that the mill produces both the pulp and the board. Stora Enso mills have certified environmental management systems to ensure continuous improvement of environmental performance. The mills use mainly renewable energy derived from the wood in the pulping process. High share of bio-energy at paperboard production makes it possible to show low carbon footprint. Effective Protection Versatile and light, paperboard packages prevent product loss by effectively protecting packaged materials against physical damage, contamination and light. Space-saving designs are particularly economical in transportation. Efficient logistics mean less usage of fuel and reduce emissions to the atmosphere. Product information can be printed directly onto the surface of the board, so no extra labels are needed. A Valuable Resource Used paperboard packaging is a valuable resource in itself, with many potential uses. Packaging boards are made of fibres with good strength properties and they can be recycled for a number of paper and board grades. In the case of recovery of polymer-coated boards, the plastic can be used for energy production, replacing fossil fuels, or recycled when appropriate.
