Renewed offering for tomorrow’s forest

On 1 February, Södra will launch a new package of forestry services. The new services will facilitate forest ownership and present opportunities to improve the profitability of members’ forest estates. The new package includes a financial advisory service and improved digital services.

The new package will be launched on 1 February and includes an advisory service to facilitate ownership transfers, as well as cash flow analysis and property valuation services.  The forest estate agreement is a new service for forest owners who seek secure, profitable and professional management for their entire estate. “This is a comprehensive package of services, designed to meet the needs of Södra’s members. The requirements of forest owners – as well as technological solutions – change over time, and these new services represent a major step forward toward a new and improved member offering. The aim is to make active and profitable forestry easier,” says Håkan Larsson, President of the Södra Skog business area.

Digital advancement in forestryDigital advancement brings new opportunities for forestry, and Södra has continued to develop new digital services for forest owners. By being able to follow business in real time, receive advice digitally from a forest inspector and renew digital forest management plans online, forestry becomes more efficient. “We are now launching more and more digital services, which are a key complement to face-to-face meetings. Technology is helping us to produce better decision-making resources for our members’ forestry, and to keep this information continuously accessible and up-to-date,” says Örjan Vorrei, IT Manager at Södra Skog.

Long-term sales with a focus on millsSödra is also strengthening its thinning offering by introducing a thinning premium of SEK 25/m³sub.”We hope this initiative will raise awareness of the benefits of timely and correctly performed thinning,” says Håkan Larsson. “We are investing heavily in our pulp mills, which will generate sales for thinning wood for a long time to come. The fibre properties of thinning wood are particularly suitable for hygienic tissue paper, for example, a segment in which we see strong customer demand.”

A reply to USA Today: Not only is paper good for learning – it’s one of the most sustainable products around us!

Last week, USA Today published a column entitled “Paper may be bad for trees, but it is good for people” by Tal Gross, an assistant professor at Columbia University (@talgross https://twitter.com/talgross). Here at Two Sides we could not agree more with the findings and statements related to the benefits of paper for education and learning. Mr. Gross outlines research showing the following: •Students that read on paper versus screens score better in comprehension tests. •Those that take notes on paper versus a laptop learn more from lectures. •Those that doodle on paper (versus sitting still) while listening to a recording performed better in memory tests. Neuroscientific experiments have shown that there is a stronger emotional connection with print and paper versus screens, and our fact sheet Print and paper play a key role in learning and literacy highlights the tremendous social benefits of print and paper. We also have more good news for Mr. Gross, as outlined in the facts below, regarding the environmental sustainability of paper.

Paper or Plastic? In a Circular Economy, the Answer is Clear (twosidesna.org)

In today’s industrial marketplace, the concept of a circular economy is finally inching beyond theoretical ideals to real-world applications that will make our planet healthier and more sustainable. But becoming truly circular doesn’t come easy or cheap. It’s a challenge that requires intent, investment and innovation. The paper industry figured this out decades ago, and it has been at the leading edge of circularity ever since. In fact, paper manufacturing exemplifies the very definition of circularity – industrial processes and economic activities that are 1) restorative or regenerative by design, 2) enable resources used to maintain their highest value for as long as possible, and 3) aim to eliminate waste through the superior design of materials, products and systems. Most alternatives don’t even come close. Take plastics, for example.
