Solidus proudly announces that its Coevorden Solid Board has achieved CarbonNeutral product certification, a landmark achievement in its journey towards sustainable and circular packaging solutions. This certification is a result of Solidus’ commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and supporting customers in achieving their climate goals through innovative, circular and sustainable packaging materials.

The Solidus Coevorden mill (the Netherlands) has transitioned to renewable biomass energy to significantly reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The small residual emissions are then offset through the purchase of verified carbon credits, ensuring the production of CarbonNeutral product certified boards that comply with the rigorous standards of The CarbonNeutral Protocol.

Jesse Rep, head of Sustainability at Solidus, commented: “Achieving CarbonNeutral product certification for the Coevorden Solid Board demonstrates Solidus’ leadership in sustainability and our dedication to providing innovative solutions that help our customers reduce their carbon footprints. This milestone reflects our commitment to making a meaningful impact in the fight against climate change while delivering value to our customers and their end consumers.”

Solidus partnered with Climate Impact Partners, a leader in carbon market solutions for climate action, to ensure the certification process adhered to globally recognized standards. By integrating carbon neutral board products into its portfolio, Solidus empowers brands and retailers to align with their ambitious climate commitments.

Katie Meikle, Client Solutions Account Executive at Climate Impact Partners stated: “Solidus’ CarbonNeutral product certified boards are a testament to the value of credible carbon neutrality initiatives. This product sets a benchmark in sustainable packaging, enabling companies to offer low-carbon solutions that resonate with environmentally conscious consumers and drive positive change in the industry.”

With sustainability at the core of its operations, Solidus is also pursuing its broader climate target of a 50% reduction in absolute CO₂ emissions by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. This ambitious goal underscores the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship.

The CarbonNeutral product certified solid board from Coevorden is now available for customers looking to enhance the sustainability of their packaging offerings. By choosing Solidus’ solutions, brands can reinforce their own climate commitments while contributing to a more sustainable and circular future.
