The Importance of Cooperation in Sustainable Wood and Forest Industries

Cooperation among stakeholders in the forest-based industries is essential for maximizing the value of wood as a crucial renewable resource. This includes a strong focus on sustainable and certified forestry practices, alongside research and development to enhance every link in the value chain. The paper industry plays a unique role, with high recovery rates and renewable energy usage. However, the misuse of biomass subsidies raises concerns about environmental impacts and job security. To ensure sustainability and competitiveness, we must prioritize innovative products that serve as carbon storage before focusing solely on energy.

  1. Close co-operation essential Wood – indispensable raw material Josef Zboril Member EESC, Czech Republic

  2. Close co-operation essential • Wood – one of the most important raw materials - renewable • Classical value chain of the forest based industries – vital interdependence of all players – ownership chain • Paper industry – specific link in the chain: capital intensive, high recovery rate, high ratio of renewable energy - sustainable, carbon storage

  3. Close co-operation essential • PPI supports the Forest Strategy & Action Plan • Support of sustainable certified forestry • Appreciation of vital need of further development leading towards intensifying all links by means of efficient R&D • Forest based industries technology platform – basis for mutual research co-operation along the entire chain

  4. Close co-operation essential • Essentially – the value chain of such importance and complexity requires reasonable stability • Thus, the PPI follows the recent development in renewable energy sources with great concern • Careless set-up of subsidies of biomass as the energy source raise the highest concern • Nowadays, often, quality and precious raw material ends in the boilers – common sense???

  5. Close co-operation essential • Ultimately, no benefit for the environment • Endangered jobs • No sustainability – loss of competitiveness • Let's make first products (smart ones) as extended carbon storage – then energy • Subsidies should enhance such conceptinstead of threat throughout the EU
