5 Facts about StoraEnso

Part of the global bioeconomy, Stora Enso is a leading provider of renewable products in packaging, biomaterials, wooden construction and paper, and one of the largest private forest owners in the world.

Stora Enso is at the forefront of transforming the industry from fossil-based materials to renewable solutions. “Today, over 90% of chemicals and materials are fossil-based, and we want to change this. That’s why we have been working on developing our breakthrough FDCA (FuranDiCarboxylic Acid) FuraCore® process.” FDCA is an organic chemical compound that occurs in nature and is a key building block for renewable materials, like PEF (bio-based plastic for packaging) and speciality polymers such as coatings.
