Paper Solutions
Lessebo Paper is now a member of Paper Profile, a product declaration format that was developed by leading European pulp, paper and paperboard manufacturers in co-operation with distributors and industry associations. It uses a standard format for product declarations and commonly agreed calculation rules to give essential information regarding composition, key environmental parameters, environmental management, and wood procurement for individual products.
The pulp, paper and paperboard manufacturers who participate in Paper Profile are committed to minimise the environmental impact of their activities. The membership therefore reinforces Lessebo Paper’s commitment to reducing the mills negative environmental impact.
The company’s efforts have already started to pay back: in 2021, Lessebo Paper received Cradle to Cradle Certificate at Gold level for its white paper ranges. It is the first paper mill worldwide to receive a certificate at Gold level.
In August 2022, Lessebo Paper stated that it has halted production due to high electricity cost. However, the mill only stood still for two days and has been running again since September 2, due to the slightly lower electricity price.
‘The Lessebo Paper mill is at full speed, and we are proud to be part of the Paper Profile community, working together with other paper manufacturers in minimising the environmental impact,’ said Jens Olson CEO at Lessebo Paper. ‘We are now looking forward to launching our new paper range, coming end of November.’
