Forest Products Working Group Meeting Next Month!
This year’s first Forest Products Working Group meeting for members will be taking place April 11-12 in Fort Mill, SC at the headquarters of founding member Domtar Paper Company. The first day of the meeting will include a tour of Marlboro Mill in Bennettsville, SC, where the group will see the mill's woodyard, pulp mill, and paper machine. In addition, the group will tour the Tatum Converting Center where they convert paper rolls into cut size paper. The remainder of the meeting will be spent discussing the group’s inaugural project, for which they are designing a set of clear, science-based guidelines to inform decision-making for paper design, procurement, use, and recovery. Members that are attending the meeting should expect to receive additional meeting materials in the coming weeks.
The working group, which launched last October and includes cross-industry representation of leading companies committed to addressing unmet needs in the forest products sector, will focus on developing practical tools and resources to address challenges and opportunities around forest resources.
