| The lamp w101 |
|
|
 |
|
The lamp w101 was designed by Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto och Ola Rune and it was commissioned by the lighting company Wästberg. The raw material used is Södra’s Durapulp®, a renewable material that has been developed in cooperation with Innventia. Durapulp® is made from selected pulp from Södra combined with a biologically biodegradable plastic (PLA) based on cornstarch.

Parupu
 |
|
Parupu means pulp in Japanese. Parupu is also the name of a chair developed in a joint project between Innventia, the architectural office Claesson Koivisto Rune and Södra Cell, with support from VINNOVA. The purpose of the project was to produce a demonstrator to prove the usability and endless possibilities of a composite material based on pulp and PLA, a biodegradable plastic made from corn starch or sugarcanes.

Rolling Optics
 |
|
In collaboration with Innventia and its network of partners, Rolling Optics, a hi-tech SME, developed a whole new generation of visual materials for labels and packaging. These materials can be used to impart a unique look that is very difficult to copy and which can also raise the profile of a brand and make it stand out on the shelves.

SOFA
 |
|
The SOFA system can help the paper and board mills to get control of the variations in product quality. With this control system, the paper or board mill can reduce the fibre utilisation by 5% which also implies a significant reduced energy consumption.
