Sustainable packaging papers for a world beyond fossils

Renewable. Recyclable. Remarkable.
Our sustainable packaging papers frees you from non-renewable materials to shape a cleaner and greener future beyond fossils.

 

Leaders in sustainability.

Trees are life. They are the lungs of our planet. And they provide a natural answer to the challenge of reducing our environmental impact. UPM only uses raw materials from sustainably managed forests to craft papers for the next generation of fibre-based packaging. As a recognised leader in sustainability, we offer high quality packaging papers for a world beyond fossils.

 
 

Welcome to the new growth industry

Sustainably managed forests provide a truly renewable source of raw materials for sustainable packaging. Rather than generate emissions, trees soak carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transform it into pure oxygen. That’s why UPM plants 50 million trees a year. Why 100% of our fibre come from sustainable sources. And why we believe forests are the answer to a bio-based future beyond fossils.

 

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 living eco-friendly lifestyles. 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.
