Holmen’s paper ecolabelled by the EU

All graphic paper from the Hallsta and Braviken paper mills and newsprint from Holmen Paper Madrid have been approved to carry the EU Ecolabel.

“These certifications help to establish trust in our environmental work. Adding the EU Ecolabel to the mix strengthens our environmental profile even further,” states Katarina Granö, market communications manager at Holmen Paper.

 “The products have their environmental impact carefully assessed before they can qualify for the EU Ecolabel. For graphic paper, the main focus is on the use of fibre raw materials, chemicals and energy, plus emissions to air and water during manufacture,” explains Leonard Dahlberg, environmental and quality engineer at Braviken.

Since Holmen Paper’s three mills already perform extremely well in terms of the environment, no specific new investment has been needed to secure the EU Ecolabel.
