Metsä Tissue Corp., Finland, has introduced Green Spa, a new plastic-free sauna seat cover in its Katrin brand tissue group. Completely biodegradable and fully compostable, Green Spa is the first product of its kind to be awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

"Although Green Spa contains no plastic, it’s still fully water resistant," says Metsä Tissue Marketing Manager Juho Ristimäki. Sauna seat covers are widely used in hotels, spas, and public swimming pools.

Part of the Metsäliitto Group, Metsä Tissue has production units based in Finland, Germany, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The company employs some 3,200 people and has an annual turnover of about EUR 940 million.
