Several Koehler flexible packaging paper have been certified by the environmental services provider Interseroh and awarded the „Made for Recycling“ seal. This includes Koehler NexPlus® Advanced, Koehler NexPlus® Seal Pure and Koehler NexPlus® Seal Pure MOB. Among other things, the after-life aspects of collection, sorting and recovery were analyzed. With this seal, the environmental services provider Interseroh certifies that the paper has a very good recycling capability.

With Koehler NexPlus®, Koehler Paper is meeting the rapidly growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions – and this extends beyond just the food industry.

Sustainable packaging solutions from Koehler as a replacement for plastic
Koehler NexPlus® paper has a barrier coating with various capabilities and characteristics. In particular, these include barriers for odors, greases, oils, water vapor, or gases, which combine with the paper’s inherent capabilities, such as high strength properties and a natural feel, to create a strong overall concept. The advantage of Koehler’s NexPlus® barrier paper is that it is manufactured from sustainable raw materials. After use, it is classified as wastepaper and is thus a sought-after recycled raw material.

Registration as paper reduces disposal fees for product packaging
Brand-name companies can register their Koehler NexPlus® product packaging with disposal companies as paper. Since this paper can be readily recycled, distributors are charged significantly less in license fees compared to classic composite solutions. With its “Made for Recycling” seal, Interseroh certifies that the Koehler NexPlus® Advanced paper, Koehler NexPlus® Seal Pure paper and Koehler NexPlus® Seal Pure MOB paper that it examined – disposed of and collected as wastepaper – have a very good recycling capability.

When the Koehler NexPlus® paper is recycled, the recovered material can add value to recycled paper. Recycling conventional plastic duplex packaging materials requires an extreme amount of processing. The costs are correspondingly high, and the economic feasibility is currently low. The result is significantly higher license fees.

Stora Enso initiates a strategic review of its Swedish forest assets

As part of its stronger focus on renewable packaging, Stora Enso is initiating a strategic review of its Swedish forest assets. The review includes assessing a potential separation and public listing of the forest assets through a partial demerger. The initiative aims to further increase business focus, streamline operations, and fully unlock the value of both the forest assets and Stora Enso’s core packaging business. As part of this review, Stora Enso will explore various options, including a potential separation and listing of the forest business through a partial demerger into a new company that would be wholly owned by all Stora Enso shareholders. This move aims to establish two robust and independent entities, each with heightened focus and strategic agility. Stora Enso would continue to lead in renewable packaging, with strong market positions and more flexible, integrated, and cost-competitive production. Meanwhile, the Swedish forest business would emerge as Europe’s largest listed pure forest company, owning a unique class of assets with anticipated long-term value appreciation and potential for significant new revenue streams. Following the recent agreement to divest approximately 175,000 hectares of Swedish forestland for an enterprise value of EUR 900 million, in line with book value, Stora Enso retains ownership of over 1.2 million hectares (1.0 million hectares of productive forestland) in Sweden, with a fair value of approximately EUR 5.8 billion as of 31 March 2025.
