”Finding the inspiring material PaperShell made me want to make a snow surf. The properties of the PaperShell material was just perfect for this. The sustainability focus and possibility of a hard 3D, composite material, with a nice finish, straight out of the press made me push the button. Free your feet and your soul will follow.”

FAQ
What fire rating does PaperShell have?
PaperShell has an inherited natural fire protection. Initial fire tests show that we have the same fire classification as wood. We are aiming for fire rating classification B and further fire rating tests are carried out during Q1 2025 and will be presented here thereafter.
How do the panels stand up to the weather?
The panels are UV resistant, rain and moisture resistant and initial tests show that there will be very little growth.
How does the appearance of the material change over time?
Indoor it stays the same. Outdoor, without any surface treatment, it turns silver grey like wood in 3-6 months, but without the performance loss found in wood.
How thick/think can the material get?
Our normal span is 0.5 to 7 mm thick but we can produce parts that are all the way up over 10 mm.
Consultation regarding environmental permit for PaperShell’s expanded operations in Tibro
PaperShell AB (“PaperShell”) develops and produces moulded, fibre-based biomaterials. The company intends to apply for a permit pursuant to Chapter 9 of the Swedish Environmental Code for increased production at the company’s facility located within the properties Sekretären 4 (existing) and Sekretären 5 (additional) in Tibro.
Production will be expanded to a maximum of 17,500 m³ of finished product per year and will include, among other things, impregnation processes and the production of biochar. The operations are subject to a permit requirement and are also covered by the Industrial Emissions Ordinance (2013:250). Where necessary, the permit application will also include requests for the required exemptions.
Because the operations may be assumed to result in significant environmental impact, PaperShell invites the public and other stakeholders to participate in a scoping consultation in accordance with Chapter 6 of the Swedish Environmental Code. The purpose is to inform and obtain views on the location, scope and environmental effects of the operations, as well as on the content of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that will be prepared.
The main environmental effects are assessed to relate to noise, transport, energy consumption, emissions to air, accident risks, and impacts on natural values in connection with the development of the site.
A consultation document describing the plans is available here and can also be requested via samrad@geosyntec.com.
