In Europe the wood for pulp comes from responsibly managed forests. These forests do not only secure wood pulp supplies &#8211; they represent important ecosystems which play an essential role to protect the climate and biodiversity. Black liquor, a wood by-product from the kraft pulping process is used as the primary fuel in the kraft pulping process which makes this process almost independent from fossil fuels. Moreover, paper is one of the most recycled products in the world. Many paper and board products are already based on 100% recycled fibres.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c5abceb elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7c5abceb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dff248 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2dff248\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Circular Innovation for a Greener Future\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7055bc05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7055bc05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Innovation is crucial for meeting the net zero goal.
