Metsa Group's tissue paper transports in Scandinavia switch to renewable fuels as part of Lean Supply Chain program aiming for lean value proposition to local markets; 40% of Metsa Tissue Scandinavia's outbound transports now powered by HVO or bio-diesel

November 25, 2024 (press release) –

Metsä Group’s tissue paper business is taking an important step towards more sustainable transports of its tissue products by arranging part of its outbound transports to customers in Scandinavia with fossil-free fuels. This shift is part of the company’s strategic Lean Supply Chain programme aiming for efficient and lean value proposition to local markets.

Approximately 40 percent of Metsä Tissue Scandinavia’s outbound transports are now powered by HVO or bio-diesel. These biofuel transports represent a vast majority of the outbound transports that Metsä Tissue organizes by itself in the region and the company’s short term target is to extend the biofuel coverage of own transports to 100 per cent. Also the customers that organize their own transports are encouraged to collect their tissue products from Metsä Tissue’s Swedish mills with transportations using fossil free fuels.

"By setting high standards for our transportation partners and choosing renewable fuels such as HVO, we can reduce our emissions by up to 90 percent per truck transport. This is an important step in our strategy and in reaching our ambitious sustainability targets 2030. It also demonstrates well our commitment to more responsible future in our transports - for us and for our customers", says Daniel Stenberg, Vice President Supply chain, Metsä Tissue Scandinavia.

In addition, the increased localized production with the expansion and modernisation of Metsä Tissue’s Mariestad mill will further reduce transportation emissions per transported tonne. Today, more than 85 percent of the company’s deliveries are made within a 500-kilometer radius from the mills and the increase in local capacity will provide even more local products with shorter transport distances. Combined with the target to transition to 100% fossil-free fuels, the company continues to strengthen its efforts in achieving more sustainable transportations.
