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. This applies not least to the premium paper Silidor Pergament.

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.

In 2021 transport accounted for 20 percent of GHG emissions from Nordic Paper’s products. Raw materials and inputs, such as wood, chemicals and pulp, need to be transported to Nordic Paper’s plants and paper products need to be transported to customers. Due to longer distances, transporting finished products accounts for the majority of the Company’s transport-related GHG emissions.

Increased production capacity, better work environment and decreased use of fossil fuels. These are some of the effects of the investment in the Säffle production plant. Anna Jansson, line manager, talks about the successful production transition.

Our history and the fact that we have been producing paper sine the 19Th century is one thing. But another part of our success story is how we today manufacture and develop paper for the future.
