the bio-economy in Europe has been highlighted during a webinar organised by Cepi, the Confederation of European Paper Industries. Carried out by NC Partnering,

the study identified 139 bio- refineries in Europe, most being located in Austria, Finland, France, Germany and Sweden, and producing products such as man-made fibres, biodiesel and bio-naphta, lignosulphonate and
he potential for the pulp and paper industry to contribute more to
tall oil products. The value of these products
was calculated at almost €2.7 billion, or almost 3 per cent of the European pulp and paper industry’s turnover. Based on investment plans and R&D programmes, this share expected to grow in the future, says Cepi. By integrating wood fibre, bio-based products and novel recycling, the pulp and paper industry has the ambition to become the European hub for the bio-based economy. The key will also be to exploit the full potential of raw

materials and by-streams of the forest-based sector – which also
means paper for recycling – for a broad range of high-added-value bio-based products. Cepi director general Jori Ringman explained: “The EU Green Deal and the 2050 climate neutrality target require an ambitious shift in the way we produce and consume in Europe. Bio-based products offer solutions to many value chains, also reinforcing the strategic autonomy of Europe by supporting Made in Europe businesses based on raw materials principally sourced in Europe.”
