Beyond Board – Services that support circular packaging
Beyond Board is a set of services designed to address the evolving needs of Stora Enso’s customers in the packaging industry. The portfolio focuses on sustainability services, and spans from trainings and regulatory support to circularity assessment and LCA services.The sustainability training aims to build a foundation of sustainability knowledge throughout organisations, including sales, sourcing and product management. While these teams are experts in their products, they can benefit significantly from guidance on topics like forestry and fibers, circularity, recyclability and impact on the climate. As sustainability becomes increasingly vital in decision-making, this training provides valuable knowledge for our customers.
The screenings and assessments support the decision-making process when considering different packaging options, with Circularity Assessment looking into end-of-life options and implications like collection, sorting and recycling schemes in different markets. Customers can further benefit from LCA Services that offer a deep dive to customers who want to understand the environmental impact when comparing different packaging options.
Expertise to provide unique industry insights
Josefin Carlsson, Head of Services at Stora Enso Packaging Materials explains that “Being a truly supportive and cost-effective partner for our customers requires drawing on our own data and expertise to provide unique industry insights guided by the latest measurement tools. Beyond Board is about going beyond product for customers who want the support to make a fully informed investment decision about moving to fiber-based circular packaging, including the benefits from lower EPR fees to a reduced carbon footprint that will be essential to meet net zero targets.”
“We are looking forward to supporting even more customers with our Beyond Board services and enlarge our portfolios further to ensure we can help our customers navigate ever-changing cost pressures, consumer expectations and an increasingly complex regulatory environment”, Carlsson concludes.
