The Swedish National Baking Team prefers to bake using paper from Nordic Paper. But which paper works best for which purpose? That’s what the team set out to discover.

The challenge: to remove more water faster from paper that is designed to be dense and impermeable. This could describe the essence of Björn Öman’s doctoral thesis, carried out at the request of Nordic Paper in Säffle.

In October 2023, "The Cross-Atlantic ePack Experiment" was launched. The experiment aimed to test the durability of an e-commerce bag made of kraft paper by sending it back and forth between different countries via international mail.

Why does there have to be plastic touching the food?
This question asked by Carl-Henrik Fernandi is all about how plastic and aluminium in food packaging can be replaced by other materials.
– Nordic Paper was recommended to me by chance – and it turned out to be just the thing, he says.

Our natural greaseproof paper contains no added fluorochemicals (PFAS). The paper is recyclable and is also biodegradable, which means that it can be composted. What many people do not realise is that it can also be used multiple times.

At Nordic Paper’s plant in Säffle there has been a real reduction in oil consumption by a full 70 percent in only one year. While there have been technical improvements to the boiler that supplies the paper machinery with steam, the engagement of the operators in reducing the climate footprint – which at the same time reduces costs – has been a more significant factor.

Nordic Paper's efforts within protection and safety are extensive and have been intensified in recent years. Rules That Save Lives, risk observer of the month and realistic emergency drills are examples of activities that were visible to all employees and in which they could participate in various ways. The most important work, however, is what happens during daily operations when colleagues interact.
