How Essity contributes to reducing emissions in manufacturing
At Essity, we constantly explore new technologies to help produce high-quality products while reducing the use of materials, energy and water where possible.
We contribute to improving resource efficiency in manufacturing and to reducing carbon emissions over time. This includes initiatives such as implementing technologies that allow us to use alternative fibres like straw fibre content in our paper products and offering efficient coreless toilet rolls that help you reduce material during use and disposal.
These initiatives support our sustainability goals: 100% of production waste to be recovered as materials or energy, and a 35% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, including reducing emissions linked to the energy used in production and purchased electricity.

Improving resource efficiency: Reducing water and energy usage.
To improve resource efficiency, our company, Essity, explores various technologies (including breakthrough technologies) aimed at reducing the use of water, energy, chemicals and raw materials in our production processes. In addition, Essity has set a target to reduce freshwater intake by 25% at eight tissue sites in water-stressed regions by 2032, compared to a 2022 baseline. This includes actions such as improving operational processes, implementing best practices and developing innovative solutions.
Reducing waste through product and process design
Reducing waste starts with product and process design. We work to optimise material use in designing our products while maintaining product performance, contributing to lower material consumption and reduced waste generation. Through production processes improvement initiatives, we aim to reduce waste across manufacturing and improve the efficient use of resources.
