PulPaper 2018: wood is the raw material of the future


T


he best forest industry experts from around the world will gather in Finland at the end of May. The futuristic theme of the event is ‘Visit tomorrow today’. With the help of new innovations and technologies, the forest industry is developing in a digitizing world with respect for the environment. What is the future of wood as a raw material? PulPaper 2018 will be held at the Helsinki Expo and


Convention Centre 29-31 May. There is a strong environmental perspective in the PulPaper Confer- ence seminar programme May 30- 31. The PulPaper Conference consists of joint key note speeches and sev- eral alternative parallel programmes from which one may compose the most interesting thematic whole for oneself. The conference programme includes circular economy, use of biomass, and climate change, as well as the development of bio-refineries.


Environmental standards are often seen as a burden on the industrial sector. In PulPaper’s seminar sections, the topic is approached through opportunities. Environmental friendliness and new innovations can be a competitive advantage for companies. The forest industry is experi- encing a transition period as the environmental impact of the sector is known better than before. PulPa- per deals with the use of biomass
