More about our production

Sustainability

Traceable to sustainably managed forests

Our products are 100% traceable back to responsible and sustainable forest management, where we protect biodiversity, support local ecosystems, and help fight climate change. The fresh fibres in our paper come from by-products of forest care and wood construction. Every part of the tree is used, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. And we plant new trees as part of every forest cycle, ensuring continuous growth and a thriving landscape.
