Sappi’s Key Performance Indicators: Reducing Energy Consumption
After achieving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2013, we shifted the focus of our improvement work to energy intensity, or the total energy consumed to create a set unit of product.
How Sappi Assesses Its Success
Our pulp and paper products are derived from renewable resources, made with high levels of renewable energy, and are designed to be re-used or recycled.
Paper and Pulp: An Industry That’s Circular by Nature
There is a growing recognition among businesses and con­sumers that we must move away from a linear “take, make, waste” model of consumption where we extract materials, produce things and discard products to landfills. We are now embracing circular economy models, which by design are restorative and regenerative. Done properly, the final result is a system in which material streams are efficiently managed and recycled.
Infographic: Papermaking as a Model of the Circular Economy
Paper is inherently circular by nature – made with renewable resources with high levels of renewable energy and is recyclable. And Sappi takes additional measure to further reduce impact at its operations.
