Billerud reorganizes in bioplastics

In Sweden, Billerud is reorganizing their bioplastic efforts.  The work has previously taken place in the subsidiary Tenova Bioplastics, with Billerud acquired in 2009 to explore and gain more in-depth knowledge of new possibilities of combining bioplastic with paper in smart packaging.

The development division of the company is now being entirely integrated in Billerud.  In connection with this process, the production business currently located in Åby will be transferred to the Norwegian company BioBag International, in which Billerud will become a minority owner.  Billerud will work closely with BioBag on certain development projects.
