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%.

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.

■ per tonne of chemical pulp ■ per tonne of paper

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.

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%.

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.

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.

The COD load has decreased by 26% per tonne of paper, and by 39% per tonne of chemical pulp, over the last ten years.
