OUR VISION ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THE TRANSITION TO A SUSTAINABLE AND LOW-CARBON BIOECONOMY

At Cepi, we realise that the future is only less than two investment cycles away and that having a clear vision on what’s ahead will be crucial for ensuring the sustainability of industry.

In 2011, as a leading industry Cepi published a 2050 Roadmap to a low-carbon bio-economy. Our 2050 Investment Roadmap outlines a vision on how the European forest fibre and paper industry can lead Europe’s circular bioeconomy transition. Click on the video on the right to find out how we plan on getting there.

In 2020, Cepi released the 2030 Industry Manifesto that takes into account the new adopted targets in the framework of the EU Green Deal.

Cepi also plays a leading role in the global sustainability challenge through its membership in the International Council of Forest and Paper Industries (ICFPA). You can learn more about how the global industry is rising up to the challenges of the 21st century in the ICFPA’s latest sustainability report here.

The Circular Choices campaign aims at promoting the policy and market conditions necessary in the EU to scale-up the circular bioeconomy. Cepi’s campaign brings together 14 EU trade associations that represent providers of renewable products and renewable energy solutions.

4evergreen is a cross-industry alliance perfecting the circularity of fibre-based packaging to contribute to a climate-neutral and sustainable society. The goal is to raise the overall recycling rate of fibre-based packaging to 90% by 2030.

REINVEST 2050 is a commitment of the forest fibre and paper industry to demonstrate how the industry is actively taking responsibility in reducing its carbon emissions, as well as playing a leading role in providing bio-based alternatives to more carbon-intensive products.
