Circular Economy & Innovation Services

We support our customers with comprehensive information on the environmental impacts of our products with options for detailed evaluations beyond carbon footprints. Across MM facilities, recycled board production uses fewer natural resources (water, energy, wood) to produce an option equivalent to virgin board. Even though virgin board production is more energy intensive than the production of recycled board, the bioenergy used at our pulp mills allows us to keep virgin board CO2 emission levels on par with recycled board production. We continue to invest heavily in decarbonisation and have been able to cut our CO2 emissions to approximately half of 2019 levels.

From fibre production, to board and paper making, to packaging conversion, we are integrated. Each year, more customers turn to us for our hands-on experience in creating materials and designing packaging that is easily recyclable. As a recycler, we know what creates the most value for circular design. We harmonise product development along our value chain so that our portfolio grows more recyclable and innovative each year. We also work with peers on drafting forward-looking industry guidelines for recycling and design for circularity – collaborating on platforms like 4evergreen
