Pulp is a renewable, recyclable and biodegradable raw material made from the cellulose fibre of wood. It is suitable for manufacturing a wide range of end products in various industries.
We produce softwood pulp from Nordic pine and spruce. Thanks to the long fibers of softwoods, the end products made from softwood pulp are strong and rigid. Birch, on the other hand, is used to make softwood pulp, which makes paper, for example, thick, smooth and absorbent.
Pulp is made from trees and parts of wood that cannot be used to make sawn timber, i.e. small trees, the top of trees and surface chips. The wood chips generated in the production of sawn timber are collected at sawmills and used for the production of paper pulp at pulp mills.
We use some of the pulp at our own mills and process it into paperboard and tissue papers, among other things. Most of the pulp we produce is sold on the global market, and we are the world's largest producer of Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft Pulp (NBSK).
More than 90% of the wood we use for pulp production comes from certified forests, and the origin of all the wood we use is traceable.
