Sca Hygiene Products India

We grow and plant seedlings that will grow for a century before they are harvested to become renewable and recyclable products with the lowest possible carbon footprint. We bring this long-term perspective into everything we do. We manage our forests in a way that maintains their biological diversity, while the growing trees absorb the atmosphere's carbon dioxide. SCA is an important part of society in Sweden, being an important employer with strong ties to the communities in the north where our industries and businesses are located. We create jobs, we develop infrastructure and we turn a renewable natural resource into export revenues. We are committed to creating value as a sustainable business for our shareholders, customers and employees. SCA has an effective and integrated value chain with environmentally certified forest operations and modern production facilities located close to its forest holdings. SCA’s rapidly growing forest captures and binds CO2, the company’s products contribute toward a more sustainable society and the renewable fiber can replace products based on fossil raw materials. The most valuable part of the tree is processed in the sawmills into wood products. Some of these become window components, painted cladding or shelves. More than half of the log is used for wood products. The remainder becomes chips for pulp production or sawdust that is processed into pellets. The bark is used in energy production. Energy used by SCA’s plants is almost exclusively from bioenergy. By-products are used to produce heat and electricity. SCA also produces energy for external customers – green electricity, district heating, unrefined and refined biofuels – and is assessing opportunities to produce liquid biofuels. SCA’s fiber industry produces chemical and mechanical pulp, publication paper and packaging paper. The pulp and paper mills are supplied with wood from forests that cannot be used for solid-wood products, and with sawmill chips. Bark is used in energy production. Heat is recycled and steam is used to produce electricity. By-products, such as tall oil and turpentine, are further refined into biofuels and green chemicals. In addition to pulp, a kraft pulp mill also produces large amounts of renewable energy. SCA’s 2.6 million hectares of forest contain a large number of locations with favorable wind conditions. SCA prepares wind power projects and leases land to power producers and investors in green energy that generate and sell green electricity.
