Going circular

At Sappi, we're cultivating more value and purpose from every tree. With recyclable woodfibre products, we're accelerating the transition to the circular bio-based economy our planet demands. 

We’ve learned that what’s in your paper is only part of the picture. Responsible sourcing of materials is critical, and we must also consider the environmental impacts of manufacturing—including the impacts associated with processing recovered paper.

While the basics of papermaking process has changed very little over the centuries, woodfibre only became the main raw material for mass paper production in the mid-19th century. The key advantage of using woodfibre is that it is a natural renewable resource.

The recyclability of products has become just as important to consumers as quality and price. At the same time, consumers are also insisting on food packaging that’s safe.

Matane Mill in Quebec produces its own biogas from raw process wastewater using anaerobic reactor technology.

There is a global movement to limit or eliminate solvent-based casting systems in order to reduce chemical waste and pollution.

The circular economy is regenerative by design and aims to gradually decouple growth from the consumption of finite resources.
