In 2019, every second beverage carton in the EU was recycled – a rate that has been increasing year on year and is only set to rise further with upcoming legislative agenda aiming to increase sustainable packaging in the region. Together with industry partners, Stora Enso is exploring investments to boost the circularity of used beverage cartons.
There are great reasons why every third liquid carton in the world is made from Stora Enso carton board. Our premium liquid packaging boards deliver the best in product protection as well as printing, converting and filling performance. They’re durable, food-safe, with an advanced multilayer construction that results in lower package weights.
Furthermore, we help packaging manufacturers and consumer brands use fewer raw materials and create less waste, enabling them to conserve nature while also saving on costs compared with other materials.
Our materials help keep your products safe in an eco-friendly way
NaturaTM by Stora Enso
Our best-selling liquid packaging board, Natura is the sustainable choice for dairy products and other sensitive liquids.
Natura liquid packaging board is made of virgin fiber at production sites that follow certified product and hygiene management systems. It has an exceptionally high standard for odour and taste neutrality, making it ideal for packaging sensitive food products – and keeping them fresh and untainted over their entire lifetime.
As we always look to improve our material efficiency, making more out of trees, Natura today is enhanced with micro-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) for extra strength at a lower weight.
Natura LifeTM by Stora Enso
Natura Life helps brands meet consumers’ growing demand for ethical, ecological and organic products.
Natural brown wood fiber is a renewable material that gives Natura Life its authentic look and visible fiber structure. An unbleached liquid packaging board, Natura Life by Stora Enso is uniquely brown both on the inside and outside. This enhances the carton packaging’s organic appearance, making it stand out on shelves.
The board features one less layer than usual, resulting in the reduced carbon footprint and lower weight that make this carton a sustainable choice.
PrimeTM by Stora Enso
Prime offers premium beverage packaging and robust performance you can rely on.
Prime TM by Stora Enso for sustainable beverage packaging has been developed specifically to meet preferences in markets that have exacting requirements for liquid packaging boards. Its durability and high quality are enhanced by its three-layer structure, which is entirely based on solid bleached sulphate pulp (SBS).
When combined with an appropriate barrier, Prime serves a wide array of liquid food and beverage packaging applications – dairy products, juice, soups, water and yoghurt.

Natura Life expresses sustainable values in Arla Foods’ EKO range
Several products in Arla Foods’ organic EKO brand range use Pure-Pak® cartons made from Natura Life by Stora Enso’s natural brown paperboard. When launching the new brown paperboard, the aim was to attract consumers with the visibly eco-friendly packaging.
“We believe that the new Pure-Pak® carton will grab attention as it communicates organic values and is totally different to anything else in the increasingly complex chilled dairy segment.”
