Sappi’s Key Performance Indicators: Reducing Energy Consumption

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.

Done properly, the final result is a system in which material streams are efficiently managed and recycled.
