Stora Enso introduces innovative low carbon paperboard for chocolate packaging

摘要

As chocolate producers and brand owners look to lower their environmental impact, Stora Enso's new plastic-free, lightweight board designed for premium packaging helps customers decrease their carbon footprint and meet the needs of consumers looking for eco-friendly products. Performa Light™ by Stora Enso is a renewable and recyclable board for premium folding cartons typically used in packaging of chocolate and confectionery, as well as beauty products. Performa Light allows for 70% reduction of CO_2 emissions in production compared to competition due to fossil-free energy production and a patented fiber treatment technology, FiberLight Tec™ by Stora Enso, to save energy and raw material. The board has a very low weight and an improved strength due to microfibrillated cellulose in the structure, resulting in less waste and lower CO_2 emissions in transport. On top of the strong environmental performance, customers will benefit from Performa Light's high print quality due to its whiteness and brightness.
