UPM Plywood

Experienced construction professionals understand that the cost of a building material involves more than just its price. 💡 UPM’s WISA-Spruce plywood range includes special products that simplify construction in various applications. Products such as WISA-SpruceFR, WISA-SpruceWR, and WISA-SpruceBT are great examples of how choosing the right plywood can ease planning and shorten the valuable time spent at the building site. While offering time and cost-saving features, these products preserve the characteristics of untreated WISA-Spruce panels: market-leading quality and structural performance due to their strength, durability, light weight, and sustainability.

Great News towards more sustainable Packaging – especially for our UK customers! UPM Plywood is taking a big step towards reducing plastic waste by introducing a material in its plastic packaging that contains 30% recycled plastic. This not only cuts down on waste but also offers cost savings for customers by helping them avoid plastic taxes. This means that you will not have to pay the UK plastic tax on WISA plywood. “It simplifies the customs process and saves UK customers money,” explains Joan Bailey. Thoroughly tested for safety, the new packaging material withstands the rigorous handling of plywood pallets, ensuring protection and durability. The EU is also preparing a plastic waste tax, so to anticipate future legislative requirements and work for a better tomorrow, UPM Plywood will gradually increase the percentage of recycled plastic in the plywood pallet wrapping. “Our goal is always a win-win-win situation for the customer, the environment and us,” says Jaakko Paloheimo. #recycling #packaging #wisaplywood #plastictax #PPWR #ResponsibilityMadeEasy

🌊 Pekka Pöyhtäri’s love for wood and good craftmanship runs like a vein through his cottage on the Bothnian Bay in Finland. 💚 He is particularly fond of local, Finnish wood species, so he chose WISA®-Spruce Special plywood, sourced from responsibly managed Finnish forests, as the main material for the ascetic but cosy cottage. 🌲 WISA-Spruce is often used in structural and load-bearing constructions. However, in the Pöyhtäri cottage, it is visible everywhere, as practically all the interior is made of plywood: The ceiling, the walls, and the built-in furniture are all made of WISA-Spruce Special. “I want to show that you can build incredibly beautiful surfaces with plain spruce plywood. In our cottage, the wood’s nature and character are allowed to show,” says Pekka. See the photos and read the full story! 👇

What is EUDR and why does it matter? 🤔 EUDR stands for the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products, which will start to apply on December 30, 2024. This regulation replaces the EU Timber Regulation and extends due diligence requirements to new commodities and related products, including wood and wood products. What does it mean for businesses? 💡 Under EUDR, businesses placing and making available relevant commodities and products on the EU market or exporting them from the EU will have to prove that they are deforestation-free. What is UPM Plywood doing? 💚 UPM Plywood is committed to responsible sourcing and is taking the necessary steps to ensure timely compliance with the regulation. As a so-called downstream operator, UPM Plywood will verify that our WISA products meet the EUDR requirements through a comprehensive due diligence process.
