Product
Dissolving pulp portfolio
Dissolving pulp portfolio delivers high-purity wood cellulose for textiles, nonwovens and consumer goods, optimized for viscose, lyocell and specialty derivatives. Saiccor Mill, Sappi Southern Africa’s flagship and the world’s largest single-line cellulose mill, underpins consistency, purity and traceable FSC/PEFC-certified woodfibre. Tailored specifications meet converter and brand requirements as market demand for sustainable cellulosic fibres rose notably in 2024.
Packaging & specialty papers
Sappi Ltds Packaging & specialty papers offer coated and uncoated papers for flexible packaging, labels, release liners and barrier solutions engineered for printability, strength and converting efficiency.
Grades include recyclable and renewable alternatives to conventional plastics, supporting circularity and lower carbon footprints.
Custom runs and dedicated application support enhance runnability and reduce waste across printing and converting operations.
Graphics & paper-based solutions
Graphics & paper-based solutions supply coated printing papers for commercial print, magazines and premium communication, with surface finishes and calibrated brightness to ensure color fidelity and runnability. Portfolio strategy has shifted toward higher-value niches as commoditized coated paper demand declines, supported by service bundles that improve printers’ efficiency and reduce waste. In FY2024 Sappi reported group sales around $4.6bn and focused investment into specialty grades. These product and service mixes target margin recovery amid lower volume markets.
Bio-based innovations
Bio-based innovations at Sappi prioritize woodfibre-derived bioproducts and material scale-up focused on circularity, recyclability and lower-carbon substrates; barrier and functional coatings extend packaging use-cases while preserving recyclability. R&D partnerships accelerate commercialization across pilot-to-scale projects and licensing pathways.
- Woodfibre bioproducts: circular, lower-carbon
- Barrier/functional coatings: expanded packaging applications
- R&D partnerships: faster scale-up and commercialization
Sustainability & certifications
Sappi's Sustainability & certifications are anchored in recognized forestry certifications and chain-of-custody systems, with lifecycle and carbon data published in the Sappi 2024 Sustainability Report to help customers meet ESG targets. Recyclability and fiber-origin transparency differentiate product offerings while technical teams provide regulatory and eco-label guidance. These capabilities support brand positioning in certified, circular pulp and paper solutions.
- forestry certifications: certified chain-of-custody
- data: lifecycle & carbon metrics in 2024 report
- differentiators: recyclability & fiber-origin transparency
