 Our forest is growing
The Landes de Gascogne forest is growing by 3% per year, mainly due to the production of natural kraft paper.
By using forestry by-products and sawmill waste, the paper industry is a vital outlet for forest owners, helping them maintain the forest and replant young trees.
Making paper does not destroy forests !
The paper industry's efforts to combat the greenhouse effect
YES
paper helps combat the greenhouse effect

 By using wood from thinning operations, renewable plantations and sawmill waste, paper production promotes tree growth and therefore the absorption of carbon dioxide.
Paper that is produced and then recycled after it has been used continues to sequestrate carbon in its fibres.
