1 Resource efficiency in the European Paper Industry Doing more with less is what we do best Ingede Symposium, 13 February 2013, München Ulrich Leberle, Senior Manager Raw Materials Resource efficiency policy in the EU Resource efficiency flagship and roadmap Six main economic areas: Improved products and changing consumption patterns Boosting efficient production methods Turning waste into a resource Support research and innovation Phasing out inefficient subsidies Getting the prices right and re-orienting the burden of taxation Page 2

7 Why the wood flow Another step to complete data in the European Paper Industry to show that we know and counter claims from outsiders on our raw material to show that there is potential for mobilisation of wood not only in the forest to contribute to the EU resource efficiency policy debate notably with our advocacy in favour of a cascading use of wood. Page 13 Why the wood flow The wood flow analysis quantifies mayor political aspects of the pulp and paper and woodworking industry: resource consumption by sectors cascade effects from residues in the wood production process advantages of paper recycling the small amounts of disposals energy use from forest resources, industrial residues, waste CO 2 sequestration in wood products Page 14

10 The Forest resource We know how much exists in the forest (21 billion m³) and how much grows in the forest in addition every year (1,27 billion m³). We know how much of that annual increment cannot be used (546 million m³ for example due to protected areas etc.). We know how much is actually used (543,7 million m³ o.b. meaning including bark). And we know how much could theoretically be used on top of that (177,7 million m³ with bark). Page 19 Direct use of wood by sector We know how much goes directly from the forest into the three main sectors: energy (208,8 million m³), woodworking (260,6 million m³) and to the pulp industry (107,8 million m³). Page 20

11 Flows between the different wood sectors We know how much goes from one sector to the other during the different material processing stages (e.g. 34 million m³ of residues from the wood production to the pulp industry). Page 21 Energy production from pulping residues We know how much residues from the pulping process (e.g. lignin) are used for energy (59,8 million m³). This represents 17% of the total use of energy from wood in Europe Page 22

12 Recycling We know how much recycling of paper (114,7 million m³ corresponding to the recycling rate of 70%) and recycling of wood products (15,5 million m³) contribute to the cascading use of wood. Page 23 Energy use by type of installation We know how much wood is used to produce energy in the end: 341 million m³. Of those, 208,8 million m³ come directly from the forest, the rest coming from different stages in the production of wood based products and at the end of life of these products. We also know in in what kind of installations and households the wood is burned. Page 24

13 Take-home messages We know how much wood is used from the forest resource and by whom Cascading use of wood means using wood first for products creating added value and jobs, using the residues for products, recycle the products and use them for energy in the end. In the case of paper, the cascading use of wood means that with 1 m³ of wood we create 2,38 times more products and energy as compared to using that cubic meter in a single use. Policies aiming at increasing the share of renewables by incentivising the demand for wood for energy should be aligned with/should not act against the principle of cascading use of wood.

14 The European Paper Industry... shows how competitiveness and sustainability can go hand in hand is based on primary resources forest fibres. It diversifies their use through the bio-refinery concept. It is the core of the bio-economy offers with its bio-based products a resource efficient alternative to society. It goes beyond just replacing fossil-based by bio-based. lives the circular economy by reaching 70% recycling rate and aspiring for futher closing the loop. is at the core of truly European value chains securing value added for European GDP: 80% of pulp, 90% of wood and 100% of paper for recycling come from Europe. is ready to enter a sectoral dialogue with the Commission on resource efficiency next to other indicators like carbon, water and land use a material use indicator must distinquish renewable and recyclable raw materials Page from 27 fossil and non-recyclable raw materials.
