Metsä Board presents sustainable paperboard solutions at FACHPACK 2025 and informs about investments in the Simpele mill.

Production of the products manufactured at the Tako site was transferred in full to Metsä Board's Kyro plant.

A recent study by Metsä Board suggests that switching to virgin fibre paperboard could reduce the carbon footprint of cosmetics packaging by up to 50 %. The study was verified by the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute.

Metsä Board has now introduced QR codes with recycling information for all packaging materials supplied. The new solution is designed to improve and simplify recycling processes.

This year's Lumene cosmetics advent calendar was realised in collaboration with the Finnish cardboard manufacturer Metsä Board and the packaging manufacturer Van Genechten Packaging.

Metsä Board is planning extensive investments in its plant in Simpele to increase production efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint.
