New countries of origin for softwood raw material: Poland and Germany
Our pulp, both softwood and hardwood, is and will continue to be sourced primarily from the wood from our members’ forests in Sweden. But we occasionally need to supplement our sources depending on market conditions so that we can guarantee a stable supply of raw material to our production sites.
As a result, we have sourced some wood from Poland for the softwood pulp produced at our Mönsterås mill, in addition to some volumes from the Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. Hardwood pulp at Mönsterås continues to use only raw material from Sweden and the Baltic states.
We have also recently sourced wood from Germany for Mörrum’s softwood pulp, in addition to Sweden and the Baltic states. For hardwood pulp, Mörrum has only received wood raw material from Sweden and the Baltic states.
There has been no change to the origin of the wood at Värö which uses raw material sourced from Sweden, Norway, the UK and Denmark, as before.
Eva Thuresson, Sustainability Information manager: “All the wood we source externally is from sustainably-managed forests and chosen carefully to best suit our needs. Our primary and preferred source of wood is and will continue to be the forests of our 52,000 members in southern Sweden. But when market conditions are tight, we need to be flexible in order to guarantee the security and quality of our production. A full list of the origin of wood raw material for our different pulp qualities in 2024 will be available via www.sodra.com/origin-of-wood early next month.”
