Renewable raw material Carton packs manufactured by SIG Combibloc are composed of up to 75 per cent of wood pulp fibres, obtained from wood, a renewable resource. In contrast to finite fossil raw materials, responsible forest management is capable of generating a never-ending supply of wood. Selecting this principle raw material responsibly and in accordance with the most exacting ecological standards is one of SIG Combibloc’s top priorities. Because forest management that is ecologically sound in every respect guarantees that at least one tree is planted for every tree felled. Trees help maintain a healthy climate. They extract climate-unfriendly carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, filter dust and sulphur from the air, and produce oxygen. Responsibly managed forests provide multiple benefits for society: they act as constantly renewable sources of raw materials, with their protective functions and as ‘green lungs’ they make a positive contribution to a healthy climate, they provide a habitat for countless plant and animal species, and they offer us a vast range of leisure opportunities. |
