Buying paper from us

What do you need?

Maybe you know us already, maybe you don’t. Holmen's paper is made by residual products from our sawmills and sustainable forest management. The paper is produced not only with sustainable raw material, but also through sustainable processes.

Environmental care matter deeply in the publishing industry today and tomorrow. At the heart of Holmen is our dedication to manage the growing forests. Thereby we add value to the markets and contribute to a sustainable mindset.

Many publishers and printers are now switching to our paper because it allows them to maintain the same page thickness and other properties while reducing the weight of the book. This choice saves both money and the environment.

Holmen's very specific concept is that we can produce paper that is lightweight and naturally bright from this residual raw material. The low climate impact from the paper depends on how our paper is sourced, produced, transported, and used.

100 percent traceable

Holmen BOOK really is a climate smart reading experience. We operate according to globally recognized standards and Holmen BOOK is available with FSC^® (FSC ID FSC-C020071), PEFC™/05-33-134 and EU Ecolabel certification. Furthermore, it’s produced using 100 percent fresh fibre from sustainably managed Swedish forests.

The production has a low impact on the environment and the wood fibre is 100 percent traceable. This means that you can rest assured that the raw materials come from a clean and reliable source.
