Renewable resources: planting trees & preserving biodiversity
European forests are home for thousands of bird, mammal, insect & plant species. Climate change is threatening the forest biodiversity that is vital for our planet's ecosystems. Sustainable forest management preserves biodiversity. Europe's wood fibre industry contributes to sustainable forest management: we are planting trees and only use wood from controlled sources.

Decarbonising: making climate neutrality happen
The European forestry sector is helping to solve the global climate challenge. Our positive climate impact is equivalent to 20% of the EU's fossil emissions each year. Net sinks in forests & forest products store 447 million tons of CO2.
We've prevented 410 million tons of carbon emissions by substituting fossil-based materials and fossil energy. And we've reduced our CO2 emissions by -50% in three decades to 51 million tons.
CLIMATE-FRIENDLY
Wood fiber-based products
A fossil-free world: innovative low-carbon alternatives
Europe's woodfibre industry can help you revolutionize while you decarbonize. Wood fibre-based products are innovative and have a greater positive climate impact than fossil-based materials. Wood fibre-based alternatives are replacing plastics in packaging. Wood-based fibres are replacing cotton and fossil-based textiles to make sustainable clothing a reality. And our scientists are continuously developing new bio-products.
Circularity
Recyclable & reusable: supporting the circular economy
We support circular economy by using all parts of the trees, produce energy while we produce pulp and circulate water and chemicals in our operations.
The European forestry sector is a recycling champion: Europe's 72% paper recycling rates are the highest in the world and 85% of European packaging board is recycled. In total, we recycle 49 million tonnes of paper and board products each year. Recycled wood fibre can be reused up to seven times with recycled textile fibre sometimes even stronger than the original.

#Forest for carbon neutrality🌳
✅Europe's 2050 zero emissions reduction target depends on healthy forests
✅All wood used by Europe's forest fibre industry comes from trusted & #renewable sources
✅Our forests grow by 1,5% every year

We plant, tend and harvest - but never more than was grown - and plant more! Like a millionaire living on the interest and not touching the capital! https://twitter.com/cepi_paper/status/1277904878766100482

EU’s Forest-based Industry Ecosystem would be an injection digital, green resilience also to renovation & other ecosystems #GreenRecovery https://twitter.com/TimmermansEU/status/1274258835671339008
Good to see that the largest amount of new jobs in #GreenRecovery could come from renovating buildings. On top of that Europeans could save 15% on their heating bills by 2025. It’s time for a #GreenDealRenovationWave. Very interesting analysis by @IEA Sustainable Recovery Plan https://twitter.com/iea/status/1273655397346394117

Thank you to the speakers and over 1⃣0⃣0⃣ participants who joined our Positive Climate Effect Study webinar:
Forests and forest-based products remove a net of 806 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually=20% of all fossil emissions in the EU: http://rebrand.ly/CEStudy🔗
@CEPI_Paper's study shows how this substitution effect minimises EU emissions by 20% 🇪🇺🌲⤵️📉
There is a clear call for the smart management of forestry and wood production in working to achieve the 2050 goals
@CEPI_Paper's webinar 'Positive Climate Effect of the Forest-based Sector in the EU' raises how forests constitute
over 40% of the EU's territory, and how emission avoidance can be achieved through the substitution effect of choosing forest-based products over fossil-based 🌳
Yes today is #MidsummerEve in Sweden which is a day to celebrate #summer, but here in #Brussels, we work. Very interesting @CEPI_Paper webinar pres total #climate effect of EU #forest based sector: -806 Mt CO2e/a equiv to 20% of all #fossil emissions in EU! #materialsubstitution
🟢 The European forest-based industries positive #climate impact corresponds to 20% of all fossil emissions in the EU
✅ That equals the annual emissions from 3 out of 4 European vehicles or flights ✈️
🔜 Stay tuned for more!

Like the seal in the @VSinkevicius tweet, also forest in Europe won't do with simply protection when faced with the major threats of climate change and calamities: biodiversity needs to be actively managed for #resilience https://twitter.com/VSinkevicius/status/1263060758537146368
Today Europe 🇪🇺 takes one solid step to the right direction.
With the #EUBiodiversity Strategy we invest in our relationship with our forests, rivers, seas, cities & agriculture. 🌲🐛🌊🐳
And above all we invest in our Future! 🌍
