As a part of the partnership, Stora Enso will provide Vogue Scandinavia with renewable magazine packaging, along with packaging design and automation services. The Vogue Scandinavia magazine packaging aims to be fully carbon neutral, with a renewable, low-carbon raw material and energy efficient production. The remaining emissions are offset by using the CarbonZero service by Stora Enso, in collaboration with compensation partner South Pole.
“Together with Vogue Scandinavia we want to respond to the increasingly eco-conscious fashion audience’s push for a greener world”, says Ulrika Lilja, EVP Communications and Marketing at Stora Enso. “With renewable materials, circular design and carbon neutral technologies we make this a reality starting with the first issue of Vogue Scandinavia.”
