Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget SCA

SCA is a global consumer goods and paper company. We develop, produce and market personal care products, tissue, packaging solutions, publication papers and solid-wood products in more than 90 countries. We create value through knowledge of consumer and customer needs, regional presence and efficient production.

SCA’s aspiration is to use recovered paper in its production to the greatest extent possible and to advocate responsible forest management in both our own land and that of our suppliers. SCA has for many years been a driving force in the development of production methods based on the use of recovered fibre and has developed new methods enabling the use of recovered fibre as raw material. The company has also established SCA Recycling to collect and distribute recovered fibre.

The fibre, collected through SCA Recycling, is delivered to the Group’s European packaging, tissue and graphic paper mills and meets 100% of their total recovered fibre requirements. It is also sold to third-party mills. Recovered fibre is an important raw material for the Groups’ paper mills. In 2007 a total of 3.5 million tonnes of recovered paper were collected and recycled in SCA’s European paper mills. Globally SCA uses approximately 4.4 million tonnes of recovered paper in its production.
