STORA Enso has launched its Beyond Board Packaging Services to help customers make informed decisions as they navigate the demands laid out by packaging regulations in Europe and the need to transition to a circular economy.
The Beyond Board services span sustainability training, regulatory services, circularity assessments and LCA Services. The training component has been designed for a range of roles including sales, sourcing and product management.
Stora Enso customers will be able to opt for a circularity assessment, designed to support them in the different end-of-life options and implications for different packaging materials. This covers collection, sorting and recycling schemes that can vary greatly according to each market. Customers can also benefit from LCA Services, which offers a ‘deep dive’ to those who want to understand the environmental impact when comparing different packaging options.
Josefin Carlsson, head of services at Stora Enso Packaging Materials, said, “Being a truly supportive and cost-effective partner for our customers requires drawing on our own data and expertise to provide unique industry insights guided by the latest measurement tools. Beyond Board is about going beyond product for customers who want the support to make a fully informed investment decision about moving to fibre-based circular packaging, including the benefits from lower EPR fees to a reduced carbon footprint that will be essential to meet net zero targets.
“We are looking forward to supporting even more customers with our Beyond Board services and enlarge our portfolios further to ensure we can help our customers navigate ever-changing cost pressures, consumer expectations and an increasingly complex regulatory environment.”
