The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) final rule on clean electricity production and investment tax credits fails to recognize the carbon benefits of our industry’s biomass energy systems.
The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) supports the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions to stay the EPA’s “Good Neighbor” plan and overturn the Chevron precedent. These rulings save AF&PA members millions and promote sustainable regulation.
We answered some common questions about the U.S. paper industry and its environmental impact. Dive in to explore how our industry is committed to sustainable manufacturing practices.
Energy is required to make paper and wood products. As a leader in sustainability, the forest products industry has made significant strides to increase energy efficiency, reducing purchased energy by more than 13% since 2005.
Sustainability is an important consideration across industries. The paper industry was one of the first manufacturing industries to voluntarily set quantifiable sustainability goals. We have made significant strides toward sustainable forest management, resource efficiency and paper recycling.
Our ambitious new set of goals, Better Practices, Better Planet 2030, will further advance the role our industry plays in the circular economy and build on our achievements to improve our planet, our people and our communities.
