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

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.

■ per tonne of chemical pulp ■ per tonne of paper

The electricity consumption per tonne of paper has decreased by 17% over the last ten years due to continuous improvements of energy efficiency.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

The COD load has decreased by 24% per tonne of paper, and by 41% per tonne of chemical pulp, over the last ten years.
