Sustainable products and materials

We strive to minimise the environmental impacts of our operations and products throughout their life cycle, from sourcing of raw materials to production and consumption right through to their disposal. We do this in co-operation with our suppliers, customers, business partners and consumers.

Paper Products

The wood we use in Katrin paper products is 100 % traceable:

88 % from certified forests
12 % from controlled forests

Every single tree is important that’s why we utilize each part:

25 % for pulp, paperboard, tissue and cooking papers
60 % for sawn timber
15 % bark, branches and tops for bio energy production

We plant 4 new seedlings for every tree we fell.

Over 94% of our production side streams are used as raw materials or energy.

Our CO2 emissions have reduced by 45% since 2009.

We use 80 % renewable energy in our production.

99.6% of the water we use is surface water from lakes and rivers.

Dispensers and Bins

The plastic parts of our dispensers are completely recyclable.

All black parts are made from recycled plastic.

The material of plugs in Katrin System towel rolls will be also changed into recycled material.

All Katrin dispensers are made of plastic to ensure they are robust and long-lasting yet recyclable.
