Portuguese forests

Myth: "making paper destroys forests".
Truth: making paper means more trees are planted.
Proof: over the last century Portugal’s woodlands have grown by almost 80%. That is more than 28,000 football pitches per year.
Today, Portuguese forests cover nearly 40% of country, thanks in good part to the Portuguese pulp and paper industry.

The Portuguese pulp and paper industry’s active policy of developing Portugal’s woodland is supported by:

• Tree nurseries producing on average approximately 13 million plants/year;
• R&D teams develop new paper products committed to a greener future;
• Investment in the latest technology;
• A deeply felt respect for nature.

 Innovation

The Portuguese pulp and paper industry has achieved high standards of efficiency by using modern technology and high quality raw materials, expertly processed into premium brands with certified green credentials, made from natural renewable resources and suitable for recycling.

With exciting new paper products developed by R&D teams committed to a greener future, Portugal is currently the Leading European producer of uncoated fine papers and bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp (BEKP).
