1 Sustainability and competitiveness have
Sustainability and competitiveness have to go hand in hand in order for industry to excel; we are a leading Economy. At the same time we are pioneering research that will provide low-carbon alternatives to the address society’s key challenges, on a long-lasting basis. The European forest fibre and paper industry is the only mainstream industry that is both renewable and recyclable. We are therefore uniquely placed to create new sustainable opportunities for the European circular bioeconomy; a key pathway to CEPI in a snapshot 92.2 MILLION TONNES (MT) OF TOTAL PRODUCTION IN 2017 Newsprint, Printing and Writing paperHYGIENE PAPER OTHER PAPER AND BOARD PACKAGING PAPER AND BOARD FILTERPAPERS OUR PRODUCTS ARE AT THE CORE OF EVERYDAY LIFECASE MATERIALS Packaging Paper and Board51% Packaging Paper and Board OTHER PACKAGING & PAPER EXAMPLES EXAMPLES Represents the sum of newsprint, uncoated mechanical, uncoated woodf
