The Resource Management System (RMS) is a unique management tool for SCA environmental work.
SCA operates an extensive system of gathering and presenting data for individual production facilities and entire business units. The Resource Management System (RMS) allows SCA to analyse data describing how the company uses energy, water, transport and raw materials, and to monitor waste and emission levels.
The RMS data is used for internal control and monitoring, external benchmarking and as a tool for evaluating acquisitions and major investments. This year’s RMS data includes one new tissue mill and two new personal care plants. One paper mill and one personal care plant were closed.
This is a schematic diagram of resources and discharges involved in the industrial production of pulp and paper. SCA uses energy and raw materials (forest fibre and recovered paper) in its processes and different transport systems to transport raw material to the mills and to distribute products to SCA customers. These processes result in air emissions, water discharges and solid waste.
