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.
