UPM-Biofore-Magazine-1-2017-ENG
The idea of a world with no waste may still sound quite utopian to many, but so did lots of other ideas which are now a reality. Advancing a circular economy which aims to totally “design out” waste is more than a worthwhile endeavour, it is crucial. What’s more, it also has many benefits. Resource efficiency is a core principle in the Biofore strategy and UPMhas a long history of developing processes to reuse or recycle virtually all production waste. The articles in this Biofore magazine provide concrete examples of how new and valuable products are generated from the side streams and by-products from our production processes. However this is just the beginning. We actively develop solutions based on the circular economy model, where materials and value circulate and added value is generated by services and smart operations. Moreover, we’re constantly looking for new business development and innovation opportunities by partnering with different industries, businesses, universities and research institutes to further develop and expand by-product utilisation and resource efficiency. Here at UPM, we do not want to waste a thing – especially not new opportunities! Let’s not waste a single opportunity!
