20 Feb 2023 --- The European paper industry must capitalize on positive long-term trends, which the EU Green Deal Industrial Plan could accelerate, according to the Confederation of European Paper Industries (Cepi), which last week released preliminary statistics showing the impact of high energy prices and “eroding EU and global economic growth.” Cepi member countries’ paper and board production decreased by 5.9% in 2022 compared to the previous year. Total production in 2022 reached 84.8 million tons, with a decrease reported in almost all paper and board grades, except for household and sanitary grades.
