Since 1990, specific CO
2
emissions per
tonne of paper have been reduced by
approximately 21%. In 2011, the acquisition
of paper mills with a high share of fossil fuels
increased the CO
2
(carbon dioxide)
emissions significantly. Closure of four paper
machines resulted in increase of average
fossil CO
2
emission in 2015
The COD load has decreased by 24%
per tonne of paper, and by 41% per
tonne of chemical pulp, over the last ten
years.
Solid waste to landfills per tonne of
converted product decreased by 76%
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
16% till 2015 (77%). 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 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 59%.
The amount of solid waste sent to landfills has
decreased by 65% over the last ten years.
However, from 2012 to 2013, the amount
increased significantly. This is due to the fact
that former reuse possibilities for ash ceased
at one of UPM’s paper mills. Starting from
2014, new methods of recycling were
established, with further options for recycling
still being investigated.
Compared to the previous year, UPM’s overall
greenhouse gas emissions increased by
approximately 1%. According to the calculation,
approximately 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. More details are available at
