Paper is one of the most widely consumed products in the world, and has been part of humanity’s daily life for centuries. As a fundamental means of education, communication and information for most people, it is used to produce books, newspapers, magazines, documents and letters, helping to transmit knowledge. It also serves a wide range of commercial and residential uses, such as boxes for transporting goods, packaging to protect food, and hundreds of other examples ranging from pages for computer printing to a variety of hygiene and cleaning products.
In the wake of technological advances, applications are diversifying to make life easier, more agile and more productive for consumers and for companies, governments and institutions.
To meet this need for raw materials, it is essential to produce and consume paper in accordance with sustainable standards, a challenge that the industry is paying attention to, innovating and investing in and achieving positive results.
It is important to note that 100% of the paper produced in Brazil comes from planted trees, a renewable resource. What’s more, paper is recyclable, meaning that most of it returns to the production cycle after it is consumed. The industry is also moving forward with continuous improvements towards cleaner production with less impact.
Brazil is a significant global producer of paper, and in addition to supplying the domestic market the country also exports products, mainly to countries in Latin America, the European Union and North America.
Paper has many applications. It is used for printing (books, newspapers, magazines) and writing (notebooks, single sheets of paper, greeting cards), food packaging, medicines, clothing and dozens of other products, as well as sanitary applications (napkins, tissues and feminine hygiene products). It also has special uses, with examples that include stamps, paper money, coffee filters and car engines.
