Dear ipw reader,

climate change and climate action, recycling, bioenergy and bioeconomy are hot topics in the industry right now - and of course in our news. We will also cover these hot topics in the upcoming issue of ipw we are currently working on. You will read about it in our December Sustainability issue.

If you have news, articles or reserach papers in this area, please send them to us immediately! Other topics may include: water treatment & footprint and pulp production certifications & forestry.

We also have updated media information for 2017. Please contact us if you would like to receive it either by responding to this email or at info@ipwonline.de.

We look forward to hearing from you! You will hear back from us in two weeks time, for our next newsletter.

Until then,

your ipw and bio-fibre team
