We are committed to delivering products and solutions that enable our customers to achieve or exceed their sustainability goals with all our product development revolving around the concept of design for the circular economy.
designed for circularity
We use our technology expertise to develop papers from renewable sources that have superior performance and are recyclable according to the CEPI method and/or certified compostable by TÜV Austria.
sustainability framework
We conduct our product development according to specially defined criteria for responsible product design that reflects all stages of the value chain. The parameters comprise four essential steps, starting with raw materials, continuing with efficient production and converting, as well as looking at the end use and disposal of our specialty papers.
DESIGNED FOR
CIRCULARITY
We use our technology competence to design papers from renewable sources that perform excellently while being fully recyclable and/or compostable.
RESPONSIBLE
SOURCING
We make use of renewable raw materials that originate from sustainable resources.
OPTIMIZE &
FACILITATE
PROCESSABILITY
Our product design does not end at our factory gates, we also take further processability and converting processes into consideration.
EFFICIENT &
CLEAN
PRODUCTION
During our manufacturing processes, we steadily optimize the use of resources, such as energy, heat, water and raw materials. We invest in energy conservation and renewable energy.
performance 2023
We are well on track with achieving our goal: in 2023, 80% of our new product developments fulfilled at least one of our sustainability framework criteria.
responsible pulp sourcing
Wood pulp is the main component of our products. We work with recognized and reputed certification bodies to provide assurance that our wood pulp is sourced responsibly and transparently. Forest certification programs and Chain of Custody certification guarantee that our customers can trace the origin of our pulp.
always in the lead
In mid-2023, the EU Deforestation Regulation came into force. It ensures deforestation-free supply chains, to bring down greenhouse gas emissions resulting from deforestation and assists in the fight against global biodiversity loss.
In the run-up, we worked together with Preferred by Nature and prepared ourselves optimally for the EUDR.
sustainable forestry is a priority
Our suppliers only harvest as much wood as can grow back. Either trees are replanted or they grow back naturally – ecosystems and biodiversity are kept safe. When selecting our suppliers, we ensure that the long-term economic, social and environmental benefits of the forest are preserved for future generations.
due diligence process
We have developed a comprehensive due diligence process to assess all our pulps for compliance with current regulations (e.g. EU Timber Regulation and EU Deforestation Regulation) and various certification schemes such as FSC™ or PEFC. These include social risk assessment and ancient and endangered forest assessment.
By 2030, we aim to purchase 100% certified wood pulp from suppliers that are certified through leading, international forest certification programs, such as FSC™ and/or PEFC.
