Paper doesn’t leave a trace
• Using paper and wood allows you to reduce the consumption of non-renewable materials
• Emissions-free bioenergy is produced during product manufacturing
• Recycling ensures that the fibres have an extended lifespan as new products
• Fibres can be used as a source of bioenergy at the end of their lifespan
• Renewable wood is a clean, local raw material that will also be available in the future
Products produced from wood and its fibres are environmentally friendly and recyclable, thus representing sustainable development at its best
Recyclable paper and fibres have an extended lifespan as new products
In comparison to many countries, paper recycling in Finland works very well. Fibres can be recycled five to seven times in various paper products.

1 m³ of wood produces tissue papers for 12 Finns for one year or more than 10,000 milk cartons
One large timber tree or the trees from a tennis court-sized thinning area produce one cubic metre of wood.

A climate action
We have to reduce the use of non-renewable natural resources and carbon dioxide emissions that are warming up the climate.Easy climate actions:1. Choose a product packaged in paperboard or
paper2. Recycle the paper and packaging that you use3. Use wood when you build or decorate4. Use paper and paperboard instead of non-
renewable materials5. Use only what you need

Paper is a versatile product
• The interface for a book or magazine always guaranteed to work, also from the environmental standpoint
• A package of fibre is always new and clean and manufactured for a specific purpose
• Paper is clean and safe material for household and hygiene products
• Cooking and baking paper reduces the use of grease and dishwashing
• Other uses of paper include surface and background papers for stickers, labels and various filter and insulating papers
• Digital printing opens up new opportunities for printed communication
