A recognized leader in sustainability
UPM only uses raw materials from sustainably managed forests to craft papers for the next generation of fibre-based packaging. As a recognized leader in sustainability, we offer high quality packaging papers.
Transformative packaging papers
Renewable. Recyclable. Remarkable.
Our packaging papers help you find fibre based alternatives to achieve your packaging ambitions.
Welcome to the new growth industry
Sustainably managed forests provide a truly renewable source of raw materials for transformative packaging. Rather than generate emissions, trees soak carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transform it into pure oxygen. That’s why UPM plants over 50 million trees a year. 100% of our fibre is traceable to its original. We believe sustainably managed forests ensure the forest growth and the renewability of the material.
Meet your recycling targets, again and again (and again and again...).
Recycling is now a non-negotiable part of sustainable packaging design, creating new life from old products. Consumers expect your support in using resources efficiently, reducing emissions, and supporting circular economy. As end-of-life management becomes an essential part of the product cycle, our papers for packaging and labelling are all produced using renewable fibres and designed for recycling.
Discover the endless possibilities of wood

As an industry-recognised leader in sustainability, trust UPM to craft renewable and recyclable packaging options that contribute to a future beyond fossils. Are you ready to unleash the potential of wood?
