4 The Industry is a Chain with Recycling and Recovery Loops This is a sector map joined by flow of wood raw materials, recycled fibre and components. The chain revenues flow back to the land as stumpages and rural development. Bioenergy is a logical end-use in the chain. Most of this chain already exists in the North East a base on which to build.

5 The Basic Nature of the Industry The forest products revenue streams from consumer, to industry, back to the regional forests create the vehicle for funding of resource management by forest owners to meet environmental, tourist, rural development and recreational aspirations targeted in regional strategic plans. Value is held in a local chain from resource, rural communities and the land base through to local (regional and UK) consumers. Of the jobs in primary forest products processing, up to 60% can be rural. The industry offers large (e.g. primary manufacturing) and small business opportunities (e.g. furniture, timber construction). This is an industry characterised by longevity a long term development platform industrial investment is usually in place for decades which in turn supports long term forest establishment. Resource is renewable, recyclable and the basis for bio-energy production. The UK is one of the largest European markets for wood and paper products growing consumption and highly import dependent. 4

6 Strategic Goals for the North East. Out-of-region processing would marginalise the North East wood basket. If the revenue stream shifts out-of-region, others then own the development pathway. The Kielder forest is unique in England. The consumer base is in England Inverness Aberdeen Scotland Pop. 5 Mn Glasgow Edinburgh Sawmills Wood Panel. OSB Wood Panel.

7 North East Resource Fibre Logic for Increased Processing The North East catchment area - England s North and the Scottish Borders - will have increasing supply potential over the next years, with scale (2 Mn m 3 p.a additional) sufficient to consider industry investment. Volume in million m3 sob Potentially Available Volumes by Assortment Southern Scotland Volume in million m3 sob Potentially Available Volumes by Assortment Northern England Biomass 18+ cm (Large sawlogs) cm (Small sawlogs) 7-14 cm (Pulpwood) Failure to act means the very large forest sector development underway in Scotland marginalises the North East resources and investment attractiveness. 6

8 Strategic Platform for the North East. 1. Regional Resource. The Kielder forest resource is the largest in England, and already supports over 20% of the forest production in England. The value of the resource is captured by keeping processing within the region about half of the forest production is processed locally. 2. Existing Industry. There is an existing and significant industry on which to build. The North East has some of the largest single facilities in the UK for wood panels, sawmilling and value added products (e.g. flooring, furniture, animal bedding, timber construction, paper converting and secondary processing). 3. Access to Markets. The UK markets for wood and paper products are growing. There is a significant consumer belt and wood-using industry around the M62 motorway corridor, which can be embraced as a North East market catchment. 4. Competitiveness. New processing investments can be competitive JPC cost models. 5. Development Options. The North East forest resource base on its own is not sufficient to consider some of the large scale sector investments such as pulp and paper mills. Large scale sector opportunities would require wood brought in from nearby. But many options remain open for the North East, including; sawmilling, further wood panel investment, bio-energy, and secondary processing businesses for example; furniture, joinery, components, engineered wood products, timber construction, paper converting, wood and paper recycling. 7

9 Some Economic Impact Analysis The opportunities offer large capital investment, rural jobs, and value creation from wood. These impacts do not include the total chain value created, for example, as the product moves to secondary processing and converting.

10 Vision The proximity to markets and consumers means the direction of forest industry development in the North East will be more towards secondary processing, value added and the consumer. This favours activities such as furniture, joinery, engineered wood products, timber products, laminated flooring, surfacing, components, paper converting (tissue, packaging) and utilisation of recovered wood and fibre. The vision begins with tying in competitive and integrated primary processing to utilise the best of (economically rationalised) the raw materials. There is increasing wood availability in the North East - not to the scale of Scotland, but sufficient to support investment concepts around sawmilling, wood panels and bio-energy. This can be supplemented by wood raw material from the Borders and also the North, to anchor the processing activities in the North East. This secures the value added pathway and provides the highest revenue stream from resource to end-user. Investment activity needs to build around existing facilities to enjoy synergies, economies of scale and integration benefits from multiple site occupation. At the same time this begins the clustering process, concentrating the industry and creating influence leading to industry attractiveness and promoting wood using cultures. Through forest industry development, the North East as a whole will gain in direct economic terms, but also in the ability to manage and sustain the aspirations for quality of life, tourism, recreation, the environment and sustainability, that the forest offers. 9
