The Xpression range of high-quality kraft paper products is suitable for use in paper carriers produced for use in retail and in other sectors.The Basix range of kraft paper, meanwhile, is intended for use in consumer bags that provide protection for food, or that are used in other daily applications.

Luigi Fiorini, President of global packaging manufacturer Fiorini International, says a major advantage of the Xpression and Basix ranges is their strong environmental credentials. BillerudKorsnäs is recognised as an industry leader in terms of sustainability and environmental focus.

Patrik Bosander, Business Development Director at BillerudKorsnäs, says, "The independent research body IVL Svenska Miljöinstitutet (IVL Swedish Environmental Institute) conducted climate change impact studies on all the products manufactured in three of our Swedish paper mills. The results showed that our products had a very small carbon footprint. This is due to the paper being made from renewable raw material from sustainable forestry, as well to our investments in environmentally effective technology."
