UPM

Environmental facts in a nutshell

We provide our customers with easy access to any information they might need concerning the sustainability of our products and supply chain. We offer product declarations and environmental data for most of our products.

UPM is developing product profiles to cover all relevant aspects of the environmental performance of our biomass-based products. The product profiles are being developed to meet distinct user needs, such as for checking the absence of hazardous chemicals, the use of renewable or non-renewable resources, the potential environmental impact for a selected impact category, or suitable ways to recycle/reuse the product at the end of its lifespan.

The environmental impacts reported in the product profiles are based on ISO standardized Life Cycle Analysis (ISO 14040 “Environmental management – Life cycle assessment – Principles and framework” and ISO 14044 “Environmental management – Life cycle assessment – Requirements and guidelines”).
