CONTENTS
Improvements were made not only through
investments in renewable energy production,
but also by continuously improving energy
efficiency. In 2011, the acquisition of paper
mills with a high share of fossil fuels
increased the CO
2
(carbon dioxide)
emissions significantly. Since 1990, specific
CO
2
emissions per tonne of paper have
been reduced by approximately 25%.
The COD load has decreased by 26%
per tonne of paper, and by 39% per
tonne of chemical pulp, over the last ten
years.
Solid waste to landfills per tonne of
converted product decreased by 71%
over the last ten years. Since 2007 the
figure includes UPM Raflatac’s label
products only.
From 2008 (61%) sales of ecolabelled
paper, chemical pulp, plywood, timber
and biocomposite products have
increased by 15% until 2014 (76%).
The figure includes FSC, PEFC and EU
Ecolabels as well as national ecolabels.
UPM’s capacity for CO
2
emission-free
power generation has increased
continuously over the last ten years.
AOX indicates the amount of halogens
bound to the organic compounds present
in the effluent. Over the last ten years, the
AOX load per tonne of bleached
chemical pulp has decreased by 53%.
The amount of solid waste sent to landfills
has decreased by 48% over the last ten
years. However, from 2012 to 2013 the
total amount of waste sent to landfill
increased significantly. This is due to the
fact that former reuse possibilities for ash
ceased at one of UPM’s paper mills. In
2014, new methods of reuse were
established, with further options for reuse
still being investigated.
Compared to the previous year UPM’s
overall greenhouse gas emissions
decreased by approximately 3%.
According to the calculations, approxi-
mately 50% of the direct and indirect
greenhouse gas emissions are related to
UPM’s energy use, but raw materials,
transportation and processing of sold
products also have a significant impact.
