Where does the wood for pulp and paper come from ?

Wood for making cellulose pulp and paper comes primarily from sawmill waste, thin treetops that cannot be used for making timber and from so-called secondary cuttings: smaller trees that have to be “thinned” from a growing forest in order to make space for the remaining trees that will grow to full size.

On average close to 90% of the wood used by the European paper industry is grown in Europe. The remainder comes, mainly in the form of cellulose pulp, from highly professional producers in Canada, Brazil, Chile and other countries with exporting forest industries.
