One challenge is to work with customers in developing innovative packaging systems and products based on wood fibre that can successfully compete with alternative packaging materials.   Sustainable fibre sourcing Production is environmentally and socially sound. A major advantage is that board and paper are made from own pulp. Birch, pine and spruce raw materials are procured from sustainably managed northern forests. Recovered paper , such as old corrugated containers (OCC), is collected from areas near mills. The division is a leading recycler of composite materials such as liquid cartons and industrial wrappings. Wood – Advanced tools and harmonised goals Further expansion in Russia Corrugated board production will be further increased, especially in Russia. A new corrugated board mill is under construction at Arzamas, 400 km east of Moscow, to provide new capacity to serve the growing market. The successful Balabanovo Mill has provided important experience on best practices for doing business in Russia. Integration of Speciality Papers A major short-term strategic initiative is integration of the Speciality Papers Business Group established within Stora Enso Packaging Boards in 2001. The integration process includes the transfer of medium-size printing paper assets to speciality paper production, and the integration of speciality papers with the Group's own pulp production.
