According to a recent study*, switching from white-lined chipboard (WLC) to MetsäBoard Classic FBB folding boxboard can reduce the carbon footprint of food packaging by over 60%, compared to grades representative of European markets.
*) Assessments follow procedural and methodological requirements of ISO 14025 and are consistent with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards. The selected system boundary for the study was cradle-to-gate + end-of-life and selected climate change impact methodology was EF3.1 Climate Change - total. Climate change impacts for competing materials utilises data from Sphera LCA for Packaging, which seeks to represent general products in the European market. The technical background report and the 3rd party verification statement are available on Metsä Board’s website.
