Efficient logistics
The strategic location of Metsä Tissue’s mills allows us to maintain efficient logistics and to reduce carbon emissions caused by transportation, as we aim to produce and sell all of our tissue paper products as close to our markets as possible. We are committed to developing our logistics and reducing carbon dioxide emissions from transport by 22% from the 2019 level by 2030.
The location of Metsä Tissue's mills helps to reduce unnecessary transport of tissue products, as the products are lightweight and take up a lot of space on the truck. Over 80% of Metsä Tissue’s deliveries are made within a distance of 500 km from our mills. We aim to harmonise our product range so that storing and transporting the products would be as efficient as possible. The form of packaging of the products, as well as their placement on the transport pallets, has a big impact on logistics efficiency. The target is to only transport full pallets and trucks.

Alternative fuels
Alternative fuels in transporting goods enable Metsä Tissue to decrease CO2 emissions. After the change to low fossil fuels in 2024, approximately 40% of Metsä Tissue Scandinavia’s outbound transports are now powered by HVO or biodiesel. These biofuel transports represent a vast majority of the outbound transports that Metsä Tissue organises by itself in the region. Using these fuels, Metsä Tissue in Scandinavia can reduce emissions by up to 90% per truck transport. This is an important step in our strategy and in reaching our ambitious sustainability targets for 2030. The same change has taken place in Finland for self-organised domestic transport.
Future emissions reduction targets
Due to doubling of the production capacity in the Swedish mill in Mariestad, the transport emissions are anticipated to decrease more slowly during the transformation period. Metsä Tissue’s Future Mill programme targets world-class environmental efficiency in tissue production, and we aim for security of supply in a local production of necessity tissue products.
