Dear ipw reader,
we are currently finishing up our last issue of the year with a focus on sustainability. While the highest certification of sustainability of a product in Germany, 'Blauer Engel', turns 40 in 2018, this subject seems to have gained momentum in recent years.This is a chance for the paper industry to replace gains made by plastic. We also have the topics of water treatment and footprint, pulp production, certifications and forestry and bio-fibre. Please send us relative or current press releases or articles to include in our magazine and/or newsletter. Sincerely,your ipw and bio-fibre team |
