Stora Enso, a Helsinki-based paper and packaging manufacturer, has launched Beyond Board Packaging Services, designed to help customers navigate demand laid out by packaging regulations in Europe.
The Beyond Board services include sustainability training, regulatory services, circularity assessments and life cycle assessment (LCA) services. The company says the sustainability training component has been designed for a wide range of roles, including sales, sourcing and product management, to provide additional guidance on forestry and fibers, circularity, recyclability and climate impact.

Stora Enso customers will be able given the option to take a circularity assessment, which supports various end-of-life options for different packaging materials, covering collection, sorting and recycling programs. Stora Enso says customers can also gain information on their environmental impact by comparing different packaging options.
“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,” says Josefin Carlsson, head of services at Stora Enso Packaging Materials. “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 [extended producer responsibility] 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 [enlarging] our portfolios further to ensure we can help our customers navigate ever-changing cost pressures, consumer expectations and an increasingly complex regulatory environment.”
