Global network of

Metsä Board’s experts

One-of-a-kind Excellence Centre combines several functions under one roof

• Every day, 160 million packages from Metsä Board’s paperboards are produced

• Even a 1% decrease in paperboard weight leads to an extra 1.6 million packages without using more natural resources

• Strong but light paperboards create less waste and prevent overpackaging, especially in e-commerce

• Our renewed FBB portfolio in 2019 provided even lighter boards

Innovating in paperboards: Light-weighting matters…

• Several brand owners are committed to moving to recyclable, compostable or reusable packaging

• Paperboard is among the preferred packaging materials

• We are continuing to develop barrier boards for even more demanding end uses, which can be recycled in paper or paperboard streams

…and so does easy recyclability

The European Green Deal: The European Commission will develop requirements to ensure that all packaging in the EU market is reusable or

recyclable in an economically viable manner by 2030.
