What are the benefits of using agricultural residues in pulp production?

Södra offers a pulp made from local agricultural residues and sustainable forest raw material, where the new blend means that more pulp can be produced from each tree harvested from members' forests. This contributes to an even more resource-efficient circular flow.

FiberSafe® is our environmentally and user-friendly paper strapping made from pulp. An alternative to steel baling wires, FiberSafe® eliminates the need for a dewiring station. Another advantage of paper strapping is that it keeps the workplace cleaner and helps customers avoid the risk of metal residues entering the process.
