From the customer’s perspective, greaseproof paper is a simple product – and that’s how it should be. Behind the scenes, however, its production is a surprisingly complex process that requires careful attention to sustainable forestry, energy efficiency, and food safety.
When the entire process is under our control and verified by independent auditors, we can offer customers peace of mind.
A unique value chain
Metsä Greaseproof Papers’ value chain is one of a kind. As part of Metsä Group, we manage the chain from start to finish. This ensures global delivery reliability for our products.
But a transparent value chain offers even more. It allows us to know the origin of raw materials, the quality of the product, and the responsibility of operations at every stage. That’s why we can promise our customers comprehensive quality.
Rigorous processes and independent audits
For us, quality is never a coincidence. It’s the result of demanding development work, carried out together with our customers. Quality is also certified and verified by independent parties.
When manufacturing papers for food preparation and packaging, raw material safety is paramount. That’s why our products are made from fresh fibre and contain no harmful chemicals such as PFAS compounds (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
Our operations are guided by corporate policies rooted in Nordic values, covering environmental, social, and governance aspects.
Customer feedback plays a key role in developing all this. We don’t just provide greaseproof paper products – we offer a comprehensive partnership built on trust and collaboration.
