The business has made improvements in household towel and toilet paper qualities. The household towel is now softer and more absorbent than before due to raw material and new embossing.
Cascades Tissue Group has expanded its Cascades Moka 100% recycled unbleached bathroom tissue line after an increase in customer demand.

Södra has said it will increase the price of its softwood pulp to US$790 per tonne. The increase will be effective as of 1 October 2012 and the price will be unchanged in September.
