Creating better and lighter paperboard solutions has been a guiding principle of Metsä Board for decades. What keeps us going is to find the best possible packaging solutions with the least possible environmental impact. In short, Better with Less.

Lightweight boards are resource efficient in many ways: they consume less raw materials, reduce transport weight and produce less waste. They also ensure product safety and protection, as well as enable appealing promotion.

Before wood becomes paperboard, it first has to be turned into pulp.  Pulp may be used immediately, or dried for shipment to the board mill. The properties of the pulps define the quality of the paperboard, in terms of consistency, whiteness and stiffness.

All of the pulp Metsä Board uses is either made in our own mills or produced by Metsä Fibre within Metsä Group. This gives us a high degree of control over the quality and availability of pulp, which in turn greatly benefits our customers. We also have a strong commitment to research and development in pulp production, so our products are continually improved.

Paperboard is an ideal material for use as part of a circular economy, where raw materials are recovered after their primary use and then used again in the same way or for new purposes. Paperboard is well recognised as a recyclable material, and its fibres form the basis of recycled paper and board.

When fibres can no longer by recycled, they can still make an important contribution to energy production. 

Our products are used in many creative and innovative ways. Read the stories behind inspiring packaging designs or typical applications, which will provide new ideas in producing your own solutions using our paperboards. See all case stories
