Metsä Group and Kemira are intensifying their sustainability cooperation with the goal of a new product or raw material
News General news
Metsä Group and Kemira have agreed to jointly develop a new renewable product or raw material related to the forest industry by 2027. As large industrial players, the companies have good opportunities to reduce the environmental impacts of the forest industry's value chain.
"One of Metsä Group's strategic sustainability targets until 2030 is that no fossil emissions are generated in our production and our products are completely fossil-free by 2030. The fossil-free raw material or product to be developed with Kemira is an excellent complement to our existing development projects," says Jari Voutilainen, SVP, Sourcing and Logistics, from Metsä Group.
"This cooperation supports the strategic goals of both companies and makes the entire value chain more sustainable. It's important for us to help our customers reach their own environmental goals and at the same time develop our own renewable product portfolio," says Kemira Pulp&Paper’s SVP, EMEA Sales Harri Eronen.
Metsä Group and Kemira have established a joint working group to develop the new product or raw material.
