Advancing the science of the pulp and paper industry is core to a progressive sustainability program. Investment in research and development is our challenge to ourselves to help ensure that we are able to continue to meet the growing demand for paper products while continuing to decrease the footprint we leave on the environment. Within our R&D Centers APP is developing innovative processes which conserve water, reduce waste and create greater efficiencies within operations. Scientists are also developing faster growing, healthier trees and researching new plant species. This contributes to new regeneration harvest methods and silvicultural systems which grow more fibre on less land, allowing for the preservation of more natural forest and habitat. Get a firsthand look at these eco-innovations and the people bringing them to life.
