Although pulp and paper manufacturing requires large amounts of energy, a portion of it comes from burning wood residue. The environmental impact of paper is significant, which has led to changes in industry and behaviour at both business and personal levels. With the use of modern technology such as the printing press and the highly mechanised harvesting of wood, disposable paper has become a cheap commodity. This has led to a high level of consumption and waste. With the rise in environmental awareness due to the lobbying by environmental organizations and with increased government regulation there is now a trend towards sustainability in the pulp and paper industry.

The pulp and paper industry is one of the largest and most polluting industries in the world; it is the third most polluting industry in North America. There are about 500 kraft mills, and many thousands of other types of pulp and paper mills, in the world. Primary concerns include the use of chlorine-based bleaches and resultant toxic emissions to air, water, and soil.
With global annual growth forecast at 2.5%, the industry, and its negative impacts, could double by 2025. RISI - Industry Jobs Board.

Outlook for European White Top Containerboard Markets. European Biomass Review. Renewable energy policy in Europe will see biomass demand grow by almost 50% between 2010 and 2020 with increased use of biomass not only in the energy sector but also in industrial and residential sectors.
Biomass is currently the largest source of renewable energy in Europe and is a relatively attractive option. However, unless new sources of biomass are developed beyond current levels, Europe will face an acute shortage of biomass. What is the potential to increase regional supply for biomass from forest and other sources and what actions are being taken to release the potential? The key to the future development of European biomass markets resides in the region's supply potential; and how well it can mobilize new sources of supply, such as forest, agricultural residues and energy crops.
European Biomass Review provides three scenarios for the mobilization of new sources based on demand forecasts -by segment until 2020-, supply potential and costs. Nb.

Samverkan som skapar en effektivare svensk industri – SSG nytt medlemsföretag i The Paper Province Egentligen är det självklart.
Företag som samarbetar för att lösa gemensamma problem når större framgång än de som inte gör det. Ett talande exempel är SSG Standard Solutions Group som ägs gemensamt av sex internationella skogsindustrikoncerner. SSG har i uppdrag att utveckla standardiserade lösningar på svensk industris gemensamma problem, i syfte att göra de industriella processerna säkrare, smidigare och mer tids-, resurs- och kostnadseffektiva.

Converters (industry) Converting companies are companies that specialize in combining raw materials such as polyesters, adhesives, silicone, tapes, foams, plastics, felts, rubbers, liners and metals, as well as other materials, to create new products.
Materials such as paper, plastic film, foil and cloth often are produced in long, continuous sheets that are rolled up for more-convenient handling and transportation. These rolls of material vary significantly in size and weight — ranging from 2 to 200 in. wide and weighing as much as several tons. The converting industry takes these continuous rolls of thin, flat materials — known as webs — threads them though processing machines (such as printing presses, laminating, coating and slitting machines) and converts or changes the web of material into an intermediate form or final product. For example, a converter’s equipment might take a web of plastic film, cut it into lengths, and fuse their edges, thus converting it into plastic bags.

Pulp and paper industry in Europe. Leading companies[edit] According to the 2011 PricewaterhouseCoopers Global Forest & Paper Industry Survey [1], the top 10 forest and paper products companies in Europe were: See also[edit] External links[edit] Pulp and paper industry. The industry is dominated by North American (United States and Canada), northern European (Finland, Sweden, and North-West Russia) and East Asian countries (such as East Siberian Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea). Australasia and Brazil also have significant pulp and paper enterprises. The United States had been the world's leading producer of paper until it was overtaken by China in 2009.[1] The industry is criticized by environmental groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council for unsustainable deforestation and clearcutting of old-growth forest.[2] The industry trend is to expand globally to countries like Russia, China and Indonesia with low wages and low environmental oversight.[3] According to Greenpeace, farmers in Central America illegally rip up vast tracts of native forest for cattle and soybean production without any consequences[4] and companies who buy timber from private land owners contribute to massive deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest.[5] 2007[edit]
