The product, made at the company\u2019s Braviken Paper Mill in Sweden, is designed as a sustainable alternative for both shelf-ready and e-commerce packaging.<\/p>\n

As per the company\u2019s website, Holmen Elevate offers water-resistance while being recyclable.<\/p>\n

Ideal for lightweight corrugated packaging, the product has been approved for direct food contact.<\/p>\n

Holmen Elevate is produced using fresh fibres sourced from sustainably managed forests, with the mill operating a resource-efficient supply chain that utilises pulpwood and wood chips from Holmen\u2019s co-located sawmill.<\/p>\n

The kraftliner is reported to have one of the lowest carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) footprints in the sector, with CO\u2082 emissions 80% below the European average for the board and paper sector.<\/p>\n

Holmen Board and Paper business development director Tommy Wiksand said: \u201cThis marks an important step in our strategy to grow within the containerboard market.<\/p>\n

\u201cHolmen Elevate meets current market demands and supports future requirements for cost-efficient solutions and low climate impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holmen Board and Paper CEO Lars Lundin said: \u201cHolmen Elevate combines low weight with high strength properties and has industry-leading sustainability performance. It enables packaging producers to reduce material consumption and emissions without compromising on quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, the company introduced Invercote Touch, an uncoated paperboard<\/a> aimed at premium packaging.<\/p>\n

This multilayered baseboard, made without pigment coatings, is said to support uncoated printing characteristics and is claimed to have excellent converting properties.<\/p>\n
