Developing packaging that has a sustainable and positive end-of-life journey is a key focus area for both Ahlstrom and its customers. In partnership with customer, S-One Labels and Packaging, Ahlstrom has worked collaboratively with S-OneLP’s product development team to develop a paper-based laminated structure specifically for food packaging, that is made from certified industrial compostable components.
In recent years, there has been a movement to develop more sustainable packaging solutions for consumers and brand owners. One specific trend in this movement has been the paper industry’s voluntary movement away from the use of certain chemicals, which enable grease-resistance in food packaging. Ahlstrom-Munksjö has been the marketplace leader in this effort.
Our people are at the forefront of everything we do at Ahlstrom, and our global internship program is just one example of this.
Recent years have called attention to the significant impacts of single-use plastic straws on our planet, and the animals that we share it with. Replacing plastic straws with sustainable, fiber-based alternatives is an important step toward a plastic-free future.
Ahlstrom’s PurposeFil™ Packaging Papers allow packaging engineers and brand owners to reach sustainability targets while meeting critical performance criteria required for retail and e-commerce packaging.

Everyone needs a safe place to call home. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why this is not always happening, for example, due to sexual orientation or gender identity. TO HOUSING, one of the local community programs Ahlstrom-Munksjö supported in 2021, helps when the home is not the place to go.
JUMP is a strategy-based leadership development program that supports young talents willing to grow at Ahlstrom-Munksjö. This spring, sixteen talented and committed Ahlstrom-Munksjö employees from different locations took a JUMP on their leadership and development journey.
Sustainability is a central tenet of the Ahlstrom-Munksjö mission. Our products are designed to eliminate single-use plastics and to forge a future of unlimited fiber potential. Many of our products are designed with compostability in mind.
