6. In this chapter, ‘kraft paper and paperboard’ means paper and paperboard of which not less than 80 % by weight of the total fibre
content consists of fibres obtained by the chemical sulphate or soda processes.
7. Except where the terms of the headings otherwise require, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres
answering to a description in two or more of the headings 4801 to 4811 are to be classified under that one of such headings which
occurs last in numerical order in the nomenclature.
8. Headings 4801 and 4803 to 4809 apply only to paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres:
(a) in strips or rolls of a width exceeding 36 cm; or
(b) in rectangular (including square) sheets with one side exceeding 36 cm and the other side exceeding 15 cm in the unfolded state.
9. For the purposes of heading 4814, the expression ‘wallpaper and similar wallcoverings’ applies only to:
(a) paper in rolls, of a width of not less than 45 cm and not more than 160 cm, suitable for wall or ceiling decoration:

the 2002 and 2013 versions of the EN 643 by grade
European List of Standard Grades

of Paper and Board for Recycling
Purpose
EN 643 is the European List of Standard Grades of Paper and Board for Recycling and was
revised in 2013. Interested parties should order the EN 643 from their respective national
standardisation body1. This guidance document has been created to give advice to sellers
and buyers of paper for recycling on the changes to EN 643, from its 2002 version to the
revised 2013 version. This document should assist the market and facilitate penetration of
the revised EN 643.
New terminology
The term Recovered Paper and Board has been substituted by the term Paper and Board for
Recycling to highlight the intended use of this secondary raw material for paper recycling
only. Furthermore, the European Recovered Paper Council has similarly changed the
terminology within the new Declaration on Paper Recycling 2011–2015.1

Definitions
Paper and board for recycling
The term paper and board for recycling is defined as “natural fibre-based paper and board
suitable for recycling; consisting of paper and board in any shape or product made predominantly
from paper and board, which may include other constituents that cannot be removed by dry
sorting, such as coatings, laminates, spiral bindings, etc.”
Prohibited materials
The revised EN 643 defines prohibited materials as “any materials which represent a hazard
for health, safety and environment, such as medical waste, contaminated products of personal
hygiene, hazardous waste, organic waste including foodstuffs, bitumen, toxic powders and
similar.”
Contrary to unwanted materials, for which maximum tolerance levels have been
introduced, prohibited materials are not permitted at all. Their presence should
be directly notified to the supplier and the load should be returned.
Unwanted material (outthrows)

Unwanted material (outthrows) means “material not suitable for the production of paper and
board” and may comprise the following elements:
■ non-paper components
■ paper and board not according to grade definition
■ paper and board detrimental to production
■ paper not suitable for deinking (if applicable).
|4
Paper and board not according to grade definition

Paper and board not according to grade definition is defined: when paper and board in the
load does not correspond to the description of the specific EN 643 grade of paper for recy-
cling, the buyer and seller of the load should agree to a return of the material or a re-grade
(either to another EN 643 grade or to a non-standard delivery).
Paper and board detrimental to production

The definition of paper and board detrimental to production now specifies that “for grades
intended for deinking, all paper containing brown, unbleached fibres are considered detrimental
to production.”
General Requirements
There is now a recommendation within EN 643 to make use of the “European Recovered
Paper Identification System” (RPID). This system allows for the establishment of identification
for the paper for recycling purchased, received, stored and consumed in paper mills. The
ultimate goal of the RPID is to improve the traceability of the paper mill’s supply to improve
safe and secure paper production processes and products. This system and its functioning
are explained in more detail at the website www.recoveredpaper-id.eu
On this website, suppliers of paper for recycling can register to the system and get personal
supplier codes.
■ EN 643 continues to state that “paper for recycling originating from multi-material
collection systems has to be specifically marked.” This can be done for example through
a mention in the delivery document or through an addition to the EN 643 code within the
Recovered Paper Identification System. The way of marking has to be agreed bi-laterally
between the buyer and the seller.
■ EN 643 continues to state that “paper sorted from refuse collections is not suitable for
use in the paper industry.”
■ EN 643 explains that unwanted material (outthrows) means “material not suitable for the
production of paper and board” and clarifies that this may comprise the different elements
outlined in the definition of unwanted material (outthrows).
5|
Specific requirements for deinking grades

EN 643 contains new requirements specifically for paper for recycling grades intended for
deinking. It sets out a list of grades that are predominantly used for deinking. In these grades,
paper products that are not suitable for deinking count towards the percentage of unwanted
material.
Paper mills should advise their paper for recycling suppliers when the purchased
grades are intended for a deinking process and make them aware of the
“assessment of print product recyclability – deinkability score” available
at www.paperforrecycling.eu
Grades usually intended for deinking are: 1.06.00, 1.06.01, 1.06.02, 1.07.00, 1.09.00, 1.11.00,
2.01.00, 2.02.01, 2.03.00, 2.03.01, 2.04.00, 2.04.01, 2.05.00, 2.05.01, 2.06.00, 2.06.01,
2.07.00, 2.07.01, 2.08.00, 2.12.00, 2.13.00, 3.01.00, 3.02.00, 3.03.00, 3.03.01, 3.04.00,
3.05.00, 3.06.00, 3.08.00, 3.09.00, 3.10.00, 3.10.01, 3.11.00, 3.11.01, 3.12.00, 5.05.00,
5.05.01, 5.09.00, 5.10.00 and 5.10.01.
Shredding
EN 643 now mentions the increasing problem of shredding of paper for recycling and advises
to leave shredding sizes as large as possible where practicable.
To give guidance to suppliers, they should be referred to relevant standards

on data security to specify the minimum size of shredded paper pieces.
|6
Grade lists
A major change in the new EN 643 is the introduction of maximum tolerance levels
for non-paper components (maximum of 1.5% for the majority of grades) and for
unwanted materials.
The grade lists within EN 643 now contain two additional columns defining the maximum
tolerance levels within each paper for recycling grade for “non-paper components” and
“unwanted materials”.
Note: the tolerance of non-paper components is included as part of the tolerance of

unwanted materials; they are not exclusive and cannot be added together. The percentages
refer to weight by weight.
Their weight in the product should be tested by an agreed method of sampling and
measurement.
If the level of “non-paper components” and/or “unwanted material” exceeds

the tolerance level in the grade list, the load should not be accepted under
the indicated grade designation.
Further guidance can be found in the “Guidelines for paper mills for the control of the content
of unusable materials in recovered paper”.3 A further major change is the description of the
grades according to their composition rather than according to their origin. For some grades,
only the title has changed while the description remained identical.

Group 1
Changes have been made to grades

1.04, 1.05, 1.06, 1.08, 1.09, 1.10, 1.11
■ Group 1 contains fewer grades than in the previous EN 643, but for 1.04, 1.05 and 1.06,
sub-grades have been introduced. This follows the way the market has developed in
recent years and especially the way bulk grades have been traded. Where measured, the
differences in the content of corrugated board in 1.04 and 1.05 sub-grades should be
respected. Technical solutions for determining the precise level of corrugated board exist
(e.g. through core drilling devices).
■ Grade 1.04.00 corresponds to the former grade 1.04. 1.04.01 and 1.04.02 allow
also non-packaging material in the fraction not consisting of corrugated board. Grade
1.06.02 takes account of the increasing existence of product samples attached to
magazines. The ability to deal with these products differs widely between paper mills and
should be agreed between buyer and supplier bilaterally. The allowed percentage of these
product related non-paper components needs to be agreed between buyer and seller in
addition to the percentages in the columns for non-paper components and total unwanted
material.
■ Grade 1.09 replaces former grades 1.08, 1.09 and 1.10. The single grade does not
specify precise percentages of newspapers or magazines and this is related to the different
reading habits in European countries. It only specifies minimum percentages of 30% each.
The precise percentages of newspapers and magazines above 30% should be determined
between buyers and sellers bilaterally.
■ Grade 1.11 has been adapted to changing and differing reading habits. Compared
to the former Grade 1.11 the new Grade 1.11.00 has a lower minimum percentage for news-
papers: 30% instead of 40%. Newspapers and magazines must jointly still reach a minimum
percentage of 80%. Paper mills who need higher percentages of one or the other should
agree with their suppliers bilaterally.
|8
Group 2

2.02, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.09, 2.13, 2.14
■ Grade 2.02 (new: 2.02.00) and 2.02.01 were rephrased without changing much of
their content. By the exclusion of flexo-graphic printing, already the previous version of
2.02.01 indicated that the grade is intended for deinking. The incorporation of 2.02.01 in
the “grades usually intended for deinking” fulfils the purpose of excluding non-deinkable
paper products even better. The existence of the “deinking subgrade” implies that the
main grade is not necessarily intended for deinking. To make this difference clear, the
main grade 2.02.00 is now named “unsold newspapers not intended for deinking”.
■ Grade 2.05 now has a description. It aims at describing the quality rather than the
origin. The distinction between the sub-grades is in the minimum percentage of woodfree
paper and in the maximum percentage of unbleached fibres. The grade is now split into
two subgrades: 2.05.00 allows a maximum of 5% newspaper and packaging, while 2.05.01
is free from those items.
■ Grade 2.06 is also split according to the minimum level of woodfree paper.
■ Grade 2.07 is split into two sub-grades for woodfree and for mechanical pulp based
bookquire.
■ The former grade 2.09 has been moved to Group 5 (Special Grades).
■ Grades 2.13, 2.14 and 2.14.01 have been added to the list since these are traded
with these specifications in considerable quantities today.
9|
Group 3

3.03, 3.05, 3.07, 3.10, 3.11, 3.16, 3.18, 3.20
■ Grade 3.03, woodfree binders, may now contain up to 2% plastic layered paper.
■ Grade 3.05 now contains a sub-grade to distinguish unprinted qualities. 3.05.01 also
covers the former grade 3.07.
■ Grade 3.10 now contains a sub-grade to distinguish the degree of printing.
■ Grade 3.11 now contains a sub-grade to distinguish white qualities from qualities con-
taining up to 20% brown and grey plies.
■ Grade 3.16 now contains a sub-grade. 3.16 covers only covers coated woodfree paper,
while 3.16.01 can contain coated and uncoated woodfree paper.
■ Grade 3.18 now contains two sub-grades. While 3.18 may contain up to 5% coated
paper, both subgrades must be free of coated paper. While 3.18.01 is free of glue, 3.18.02
may contain some glue.
■ Grade 3.20 and 3.20.01 have been added, since white and mass coloured tissue are
today traded in considerable quantities.
Group 4

4.01, 4.04, 4.05
■ Former sub-grade 4.01.02 has been removed from the grade list.
■ Former sub-grades 4.04.02 and 4.05.02 have been moved to group 5 (5.12 and 5.13).
| 10
Group 5

5.01, 5.03, 5.05, 5.06, 5.07, 5.08, 5.09, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14
Group 5 has been extended: It reflects the existence of more complex paper products, but
also improved recycling processes that can deal with such grades. Their inclusion in the
special grades of group 5 also aims at reducing their presence in groups 1 to 4.
■ Grade 5.01 (together with 5.03.00) are the only grades with a maximum level for
non-paper components higher than 1.5%. This is due to the fact that these materials
are often not submitted to additional sorting between collection and the paper mill.
■ Grade 5.03 now has a sub-grade for unused liquid packaging board as this market has
significantly increased. 5.03.00 has a maximum limit of 3% for non-paper components.
The significant difference with the usual maximum limit of 1,5% is due to the way this
material is collected, often together with other non-paper packaging material. 5.03.01 is
unused liquid packaging board.
■ Grade 5.05 now has three additional sub-grades in addition to 5.05.00, which remains
unchanged. Their composition is described in EN 643.
■ Grades 5.06 and 5.07 now have sub-grades to separate white from coloured
wet-strength papers.
■ Grades 5.08 to 5.14 and their sub-grades have been added to the list, either coming
from other grades (such as 5.09, 5.12, 5.13) or have been newly added to the list due to
the existence of considerable volumes of these qualities and opportunities for effective
recycling into new products.

Wood fl0ws in Europe // Conclusions
project target
All wood flows in Europe (EU27) are analyzed and presented in one single flow chart
including material and energy consumption. In addition to the Wood Resource Balance
sectors (EUwood 2010) the paper industry and recovered paper is included. Furthermore,
an end-use-sector-analysis was added. The final flow chart shall show the relevance,
measured in volume (m³ solid wood equivalents) of sectors and flows between sectors.
resource sector
The theoretical biomass potential from European forests in 2010 accounted to 1,277 M m³
o.b. per year, including stumps and bark. The growing stock including stumps is 21,021 M m³
o.b. of which 731.0 M m³ o.b. are available for wood supply (AWS).
From this point onwards all volumes were calculated in solid wood equivalents (swe). The
final annual potential from forest results in 713.0 M m³ swe available for wood supply.
External trade of forest resources is relatively low.
The actual domestic use (consumption) based on the WRB 2010 was calculated with
543.7 M m³. Thus removals correspond to 539.7 M m³. This corresponds to 75.7% of the
available potential. Thus, 173.3 M m³ remain in forests.
The forest industry is segmented (condensed) into the pulp- and paper industry and the
wood industry (sawnwood, panel, other). Wood from trees used in the pulp and paper
sector amounts to 107.8 M m3, The wood industry uses 260.6 M m3 and 208.8 M m3 are
incorporated in the energy sector.
semi-finished products
The total resource consumption for the production of semi-finished products adds up to 456.7
M m³ (141.8 M m³ for pulp and 314.9 M m³ for wood products). This includes 69.8 M m³ of
industrial residues (38.8 M m³ + 34.0 M m³) and 15.5 M m³ of recycling material from wood
products. However, the output of industrial residues is much higher. 176.3 M m³ or 38.6 %
of the consumed resources are available as industrial residues for further processing in
products or in energy. 157.2 M m³ come from semi-finished processes and 19.1 M m³ from
finished processes.
finished products
The total production of finished products adds up to 354.3 M m³ (185.2 M m³ pulp and
169.1 M m³ wood products). 144.9 M m³ or 40.9% of the consumed resources are recy-
cling products.
Another 113.6 M m³ or 32.1% is stored in use and contributes to carbon sequestration
(104.0 M t CO2). Thus, 73.0% of all fibrous material in the end-use sector market is recy-
cled or stored in use.
337,2 M m³ of wood resources are used for energy consumption whereof 50.0% or 168.6 M m³
is burned in private households.
30.8% or 103.7 M m³ of all resources consumed for energy production comes from indus-
trial residues of the forest industries.
168.6 M m³ wood from trees is used in biomass power plants. The proportion of the forest
industries in this sector is 50.7% or 85.5 M m³.
utilization factor
Utilization factors simply calculate the relation between wood resources from trees and
other wood resources in specific consumer sectors (energy, products). All factors in the
following table, except H and J are such utilization factors.
cascade factor
In the market process wood is used in cascades. A cascade use is defined as multiple
use of the wood resources from trees by using residues, recycling (utilization in produc-
tion) resources or recovered (collected after consumption) resources. The more often by
6
Wood fl0ws in Europe // Conclusions
products and recycling products are used the higher the cascade factor gets. If only wood
resources from trees and no other wood resources are used the cascade factor is 1,00.
In Table 1 the cascade factors have been calculated for the wood resource balance as a whole
(J) and for the wood industry (H). The overall cascade factor of the wood resource balance is
1.57. Thus, the wood resources from trees have been use a bit more than one and a half time.

cascade factors for branches

It would be interesting to calculate cascade factors for single branches, like paper or panel
industry to document cascades effects within industries. However, cascades do not take
place in one single sector, but between several sectors. E.g. the pulp industry receives
chips from sawmills. While the use of recycled paper is a cascade within the sector and in
the total wood resource balance, the purchase of chips by the pulp industry is a cascade
in the total wood resource balance but not in the pulp industry itself. But wood industry
does not receive any by-products or recycling products form energy uses. Therefore, a
separate cascade factor for wood industry as a whole can be calculated. It is not very
different from the overall cascade factor because almost all cascade uses take place in
the wood industry sector.
utilization factors for resources

The wood resource balance provides the opportunity to calculate utilization of residues
and recycling resources by consumption. Utilization in products have a factor of 1.35 and
the utilization factor for residues and recycling in energy production is 1.22.
wood input-output factor

The wood input-output factor calculates how many times the wood resources from trees
are used in the production process. The highest wood input-output factors are found in
paper (2.38) and panel industry (2.43). The paper industry uses a high proportion of recy-
cling products (2.06), while the panel industry intensively makes use of residues (2.02).

All wood flows in Europe (EU27) are analyzed and presented in one single flow chart
(Figure 1). Thereby the material and energy consumption wood flows are shown. In addi-
tion to the Wood Resource Balance sectors (EUwood 2010) the paper industry and recov-
ered paper will be included. Furthermore, an end-use-sector-analysis was added. The
final flow chart shall show the relevance, measured in volume (m³ solid wood equivalents)
of sectors and flows between sectors.
If nothing else is mentioned in this report, all data in m³ are solid

wood equivalents (swe).
Data shown in the wood flow chart are printed in bold letters.
resource sector
The theoretical biomass potential from European forests in 2010 accounted to 1,277 M m³ o.b.
per year, including stumps and bark. The growing stock including stumps is 21,021 M m³ o.b.
of which 731.0 M m³ o.b. are available for wood supply (AWS).
From this point onwards all volumes were calculated in solid wood equivalents (swe). The
final annual potential from forest results in 713.0 M m³ swe available for wood supply.
External trade of forest resources is relatively low.
The actual domestic use (consumption) based on the WRB 2010 was calculated with 543.7 M m³.
Thus removals correspond to 539.7 M m³. This corresponds to 75.7% of the available poten-
tial. Thus, 173.3 M m³ remain in forests.
The total potential of landscape care wood and short rotation plantation is 87.5 M m³.
Yet, it will take some time to utilize this potential. In the EUwood study it was assumed
that currently 59.0 M m³ are available. The calculations on the resource mix of energy
consumers result in a current consumption of 33.4 M m³. Thus, the reserve is currently
assumed with 25.6 M m³.
In the year 2010 the total consumption of wood resources from trees results in 577.1 M m³.
This corresponds to a resource
453.4 M m³ roundwood / stemwood (C+NC)
51.1 M m³ bark
39.2 M m³ forest residues
33.4 M m³ other woody biomass

incorporated in the energy sector.
semi-finished sector and industrial residues

sector amounts to 107.8 M m3, The wood industry uses 260.6 M m3. 208.8 M m3 are incor-
porated in the energy sector.
The total wood fibre consumption of the pulp industry is 141.8 M m³ swe which includes
34.0 M m³ industrial residues. From the total wood consumption the equivalent of 82.0 M m³
is incorporated into pulp and 59.8 M m³ swe is industrial residue (black liquor) (Figure 2).
The latter is consumed for energy in wood industry biomass power plants.

semi-finished sector and industrial residues

The wood industry consumes 314.9 M m³ swe (260.6 M m³ wood from trees, 38.8 M m³
industrial residues and 15.5 M m³ post-consumer wood). From the total wood c onsumption
the equivalent of 217.5 M m³ flows into the broad variety of wooden products and 97.4 M m³
swe are industrial residues. 39.8% of industrial residues (97.4 M m³ swe) are used in the
wood production itself. The rest is used in other sectors. The total volume of industrial
residues (176.3 M m³) includes the use of black liquor in the pulp and paper industry for
heat and power generation. The wood consumption in the pulp industry for the year 2010
amounts to 141.8 M m³.
trade
In comparison to the sum of all trade activities of the EU27 countries the trade volumes in
this report are relatively small. The reason is that none of the internal trade between EU27
countries is represented in this flow chart. The overall import flows add up to 94.8 M m³
(88.2 M m³ wood products + 6.6 M m³ raw wood). 132.5 M m³ are exported (130.0 +
2.5 M m³). Thus, the trade balance of external trade has a surplus of 37.7 M m³ in solid
wood equivalents.
wood products in the sector of finished products

The wood flow from the semi-finished sector into the finished sector starts with a resource
input of 298.6 M m³ (swe) and 185.2 M m³ paper products in use. In the paper volume
32.7 M m³ non-fiber materials are included that originate from outside the calculated
woody biomass flow. From the 185.2 M m³, 33.2 M m³ is disposed and 13.5 M m³ are
used for energy in incineration and biomass power plants. Another 2.9 M m³ is recycled
otherwise, e.g. used for insulation in buildings. Therefore, it is added to the storage in use.
129,4 M m³ of paper products in use are recycled. Thus, around 70% of all paper product
are recycled.
The wood products (sawnwood, panels, other) will be used in hundreds of finished prod-
ucts made of wood in the field of construction, furniture, packaging and others. However,
as much as 188.9 M m³ will be used in one of the many production sectors of finished
products. The sector of finished wood products has higher EU27 external exports
(25.7 M m³) than imports (5.8 M m³). Thus, 169.1 M m³ contribute to the end-use market
in the EU27.
product to use
Consequently, on the domestic market 185.2 M m3 paper products and 169.1 M m3
wood products are available (Figure 2). Not all of this material can be stored or recov-
ered. Examples for non collectable products are hygiene paper or tend sticks. CEPI esti-
mates the proportion of non collectable paper with 8% of the products in use. The amount
of paper & board (paper) that is non-recyclable and that is used for land filling or other
recovery option has to be added to the amount of non-collectable paper. In total, this
represents about 19% of the total paper volume put on the market. The percentage of
respective non-recyclable wood products is unknown, but assumed to account for approx-
imately 4%.
recovery rate and storage rate paper sector

69.9% of the “recovered paper at end users” are collected and sorted from households
and others. 20.2% of the market volume for end user are disposed of and 13.5% are
burned in incinerations or biomass power plants. 1.7% of the yearly paper products are
used for other recycling options (construction), composting and other treatments. This
volume is categorized as storage volume.
13
recovery rate and storage rate wood sector

In 2010 36.1 M m3 of the overall potential of post consumer wood (52.0 M m³) was recov-
ered. Based on the total market volume of wood the recovery rate is 22.3% (9.2% mate-
rial and 12.1% energy). Obviously, big proportions of the consumed wood are stored over
a long time and are actually no potential for recycling. Based on the data for the year 2010,
only one third of the wood consumption holds potential as post consumer wood. 66.9% of
all wooden products in the end consumer market are stored in use.
carbon sequestration and recycling in the forest industry

In 2010 the volume of all products of the pulp and wood industry in the EU27 was
354.5 M m³ swe. 32.0% (113.6 M m³) of this volume or the equivalent of 104.0 M t CO2
(Figure 2) is stored in the long range. 47.8% percent of this volume is recovered
(129.4+15.5+20.6+3.8). From all the products the forest industries deliver to the end-
user markets 79.8% are stored in use or recovered.
carbon sequestration calculation

In this study only the direct material effects of carbon sequestration for wood products
stored in use are counted. The substitution effects of wood in comparison to other prod-
ucts are not considered. This effect can be a couple of times higher. Furthermore, the use
of wood for bioenergy substitutes fossil energy fuels.
pellets
Energy use is largely end-use. Only producer of solid wood fuels manufacture products
which are stored before they are finally consumed. In general, the storage time is less than
one year. All pressed solid wood fuels like pellets, briquettes and other are named “pellets”
in this study. The pellet production in the EU27 account for 14.8 M t or 27.6 M m³ swe
(Figure 2). 4.7 M m³ of pellets are imported. Almost no extra trade exports are reported for
the EU27 (0.1 M m³) which results in 32.1 M m³ pellet consumption. 1.5 M t (2.8 M m³
swe) of pellets is used in biomass power plants. Thus, 29.3 M m³ are used in households.
wood energy is end use

The wood energy use is segmented into household consumption (168,6 M m³ swe) and the
consumption of biomass power plants (168.6 M m³ swe). Half of the consumed wood is used
in heat and in power plants of the wood industry itself (85.5 M m³ swe) and (83.1 M m³) in
other biomass power plants. The total consumption in biomass power plants is 168.6 M m³
whereof the wood industry represents 50.7%.
The resources used are segmented in 208.8 M m³ wood from trees (forest, landscape care
wood, short rotation plantations), 103.7 M m³ industrial residues (saw mill by products,
black liquor, other industrial residues), 20.6 M m³ recycling resources (post consumer
wood) and 32.1 M m³ pellets.

All wood flows in Europe (EU27) are analyzed and presented in one single flow chart.
Thereby the material and energy consumption wood flows are shown. In addition to the
Wood Resource Balance sectors (EUwood 2010) the paper industry and recovered paper
will be included. Furthermore, an end-use-sector-analysis was added. The final flow chart
shall show the relevance, measured in volume (m³ solid wood equivalents) of sectors and
flows between sectors.
growing stock and stumps

Growing stock refers to the volume of wood, standing in the living trees as measured and
reported by national and/or regional forest inventory according to a specific methodology.
(UNECE, 2010)
The total growing stock in Europe (EU + EFTA) in the year 2010 is 17,912 M m³ o.b. (over
bark m³ standing volume). This study focuses on EU27 in order to assure comparability with
the results of the EUwood-study (EUwood, 2010). By subtracting the growing stock volume
for Norway and Switzerland the respective number for the EU27 amounts to 16,604 M m³.
According to projections with EFISCEN, the theoretical biomass potential from European
forests in 2010 amounted to 1,277 million m³ per year, including stumps and bark in 2010
(Verkerk et al., 2010). About 52% of the total potential lies in stems, while logging residues
and stumps represent 26% and 21%, respectively. Other biomass, i.e. stem and crown
biomass from early thinning, represent only 1% of the total potential (Verkerk et al., 2010).
To adapt the growing stock to the respective biomass including stumps a factor of 1,266 is
applied. This means the respective value of 16,604 M m³ is 21,021 M m³ including stumps
(Schelhaas et al, 2006).
Net Annual Increment (NAI)

Net Annual Increment refers to the average annual volume of gross increment minus
natural losses on all trees over a given reference period as measured and reported by
national and/or regional forest inventory according to a specific methodology.
Thus, the net annual increment covers only stemwood and not the total available biomass.
In Schelhaas et al. (2006) it is calculated with 475.9 M m³ for Europe, which is the normal
way to calculate forest potentials for the wood industry (stemwood).
For calculations on total wood availability, including energy, this is not an adequate value
because the potential of residues and stumps is not included.
annual potential
Therefore, in EUwood the annual potential was calculated differently (Verkerk et al. 2010).
First, the maximum, theoretical availability of forest biomass from forests (1,277 million m³)
available for wood supply in the 27 European Union (EU) member states was estimated by
using the large-scale European Forest Information SCENario model (EFISCEN) (Schelhaas
et al. 2007). These projections included stemwood, logging residues (i.e. stem tops,
branches and needles), stumps, and other biomass (i.e. stem and crown biomass from
early and/or pre-commercial thinnings).
Secondly, multiple environmental, technical and social constraints were defined and
quantified to reduce the amount of biomass that can be extracted from forests for three
mobilisation scenarios (see appendix).
16
Thirdly, according to EFISCEN the theoretical potential was combined with the constraints
from three mobilisation scenarios to assess the realisable biomass potential from
European forests. It should be noted that this figure only shows the potential of the forest
and not a projection of supply.
Finally, some further calculations were undertaken, related to requirements for workforce
and machinery in order to extract the realistic potential and to find out how procurement
costs are affected by the different scenarios.
mobilization scenarios
High scenario: strong focus on the use of wood for energy production and for other uses,
effective implementation of current recommendations on wood mobilization
Medium scenario: represents more or less the state of the art of the actual mobilization
or forest management; existing recommendations are not all fully implemented or do not
have the desired effect
Low scenario: strong environmental concerns against the intensified use of wood and to
forest owners who are more reluctant to harvest.
The following chart is a strongly reduced form of the undertaken calculations based on the
medium mobilisation scenario.
Figure 3: Wood flow chart for the resource sector (EU27, 2010)
potential of mobilization scenarios

The realistic biomass potential from forests under the medium mobilisation scenario is
estimated at 731.0 M m³ per year over bark (ob) in 2010. However, if less strict restrictions
on biomass extraction are assumed, the biomass potential from forest could be increased
to 898 million m³ ob per year in 2030 according to the high mobilisation scenario. On the
other hand, according to the low mobilisation scenario the biomass potential would be
reduced to 625 million m³ ob per year in 2030 (Verkerk et al., 2010).
For flow chart calculation of a scenario most likely to occur, the medium mobilization
scenario was applied, using 731.0 M m³ per year (ob) in 2010 as input.
All volumes were calculated in solid wood equivalents (swe). Stemwood was calculated
without bark and bark was calculated in solid wood equivalents (conversion factor 0.75;
UNECE 2010). Hence, the final annual potential from forest results in 713.0 M m³ available
for wood supply. On the other hand 546.0 M m³ are not available for wood supply because
of restrictions, especially concerning the harvest of stumps and residues.
17
removals and wood supply

The actual domestic use (consumption) based on the WRB 2010 was calculated with
543.7 M m³. This includes the trade surplus of 4.1 M m³ (Im-Ex). Thus, the actual
removals correspond to 539.7 M m³ which corresponds to 75.7% of the available poten-
tial. This means 173.3 M m³ (swe) or 177.7 M m³ o.b. remain in forests.
A special problem occurs when m³ are shifted from inventory data to consumption data,
because bark is calculated in solid wood equivalent (swe). This causes a compression of
the volume of 18.0 M m³ (731.0-713.0 M m³). 173.3 M m³ are not used from the actual
cutting but when they are shifted back to standing volume, bark m³ swe turns back into
bark m³. This means an expansion of 4.4 M m³ bark in natural volume.
The import data in this study are much lower than the sum of all EU27 countries because
only extra-trade is calculated. The EU27 imports 6.6 M m³ of wood from countries outside
the EU27 and exports 2.5 M m³. Thus, the trade contributes with 4.1 M m³ to the raw
wood consumption (543.7 M m³ swe).
other biological production

Other resources apart from biological production of wood fibers are landscape care wood
and short rotation plantations. The latter is actually calculated with 0.5 M m³ in the EU27 and
it is assumed that it is fully used. The total potential of landscape care wood is 87.5 M m³.
Yet, it will take some time to utilize this potential. In the EUwood study it was assumed
that currently 59.0 M m³ are available. The calculations on the resource mix of energy
consumer (see below) result in a current consumption of 33.4 M m³. Thus, the reserve is
currently assumed with 25.6 M m³.
transfer to the semi-finished product sector

In the year 2010 the total consumption of wood resources from trees results in 577.1 M m³.
This corresponds to a resource
453.4 M m³ roundwood / stemwood (C+NC)
51.1 M m³ bark
39.2 M m³ forest residues
33.4 M m³ other woody biomass
18
Semi-finished product sector I
Resource mix of products
complexity
The semi-finished product sector is much more complex than the resource sector due to
a broader variety of products in the statistical system.
time frame
The determination of the “base year” was a bit complicated. The project started to process
all data for the year 2009, which represents the data availability at the beginning of the
year 2011. In the calculation process it turned out that many of the calculations are based
on the outcome of the EUwood-project. The consumption data of the EUwood project for
the year 2010 are based on the forecasts for the industrial sector with existing data for
2007. The forecasts were quite good but some of the data for 2010 may not be the same
as the upcoming real production for 2010. To prevent mixing data for different years, all
data were calculated again for the year 2010. If actual data were not available, the data
base of the EUwood-project for 2010 was applied.
resource mix of woody biomass consumer

Resource mix of woody biomass consumption yields important information for all calcu-
lations because it provides the basis for the calculation of consumption of each single
resource. The following chapter gives an overview on the proportions of resources used
in industrial sectors.
sawmill industry
The sawmill industry uses 100% stemwood.
veneer and plywood

The veneer and plywood industry uses 100% stemwood.
pulp industry
The wood consumption in the pulp industry for the year 2010 is based on the CEPI Annual
statistics 2010. The pulp wood consumption for Norway and Switzerland was subtracted.
As a result the wood consumption for pulp production was 141.8 M m³ for 2010. The
proportion of mechanical to chemical pulp production in Europe (VDP 2011, p. 95) is 24%
to 76%, which is assumed for EU27 as well.
panel industry
The panel industry is defined as producer of particle board, fiber board (MDF) and
oriented strand board (OSB). To calculate the average resource mix an average of these
three products was taken into account for 2009. The basis for the calculation was the
European Panel Federation (EPF) Annual Report 2009-2010 (p28+29). The weighted
average of consumed resources (particle, MDF, OSB) is:
woody biomass consumption

By assortments %
Roundwood 41.2
By products 42.1
Post consumerwood 16.7
All 100.0

The particle board and MDF (medium density fibre board) industry uses proportions of
bark (4%; UNECE/UFAO conversion) as well as branches or wood under 7 cm diameters
(5% assumed for particle, 4% for MDF and 1% for OSB). Thus, in total 34.5% of round
wood consumption is “real” industrial round wood, while 3.7% are branches (<7 cm;
forest residues) and 3.0% is counted as bark.

resource mix of energy user theoretically estimated

In general, in all other sectors, particularly the energy consumers but the other mate-
rial users as well, the resource mix is relatively unknown. However, resource mix propor-
tions are limited by the total availability of resources minus the known proportions used
in wood industry. Therefore, only the remaining volumes can be distributed. Furthermore,
some plausible assumptions may be taken for specific consumers. It is also assumed
that the total resource of bark, short rotation plantation wood, sawmill by-products, other
industrial residues, black liquor and available post-consumer wood are totally consumed.
Stemwood, forest residues and landscape care wood are not used up to the total potential.
Under these constraints an optimization process was started which continued over the
whole calculation period. Any change in a particular area may have an influence on the
potential of available material for other sectors.
other material uses

The sector “other material uses” is differentiated into traditional other material uses and
new innovative “other material uses”. Traditional other material uses include mulch, litter
and other industrial round wood sorted for special purposes (e.g. poles, sleepers and
posts for harbor works or fencing, which are significant uses in some areas). Many new
innovative products made of wood fiber are on their way to gain market relevance, while
their current market relevance is neglectable.
Empirical studies for the resource mix of other material uses are not available. However,
some conclusions can be drawn from the products itself. Mulch is made from bark.
Sleepers and posts are made from stemwood. It is assumed that the resource mix in this
area shows 65% stemwood and 35% bark.

matrix approach
To obtain the most realistic resource mix distribution of the energy user a matrix
approach was chosen for the estimation process. The lines of the matrix repre-
sent the consumer of woody biomass and the columns represent the resources.
The data base of the material user is relatively well known. Furthermore, the overall
available potential of the resources are well known. Therefore, the maximum
sums of usable resources are known as well. “The more and better we know,
the entirely and better we can estimate the unknown!”
calculation the unknown

In some countries, especially in Germany, many studies have been established to calcu-
late the resource mix of all woody biomass consumers (resource monitoring by Mantau). If
no country specific data are available, these numbers are the starting point for the expert
estimations for the resource mix of energy consumer. The estimation process is carried
out within the borderlines of the maximum potential of resources and the already used
potential by wood industry. It is further restricted by the plausible assumptions that the
total resource for bark, short rotation plantation, sawmill by products, other industrial resi-
dues reduced, black liquor and available post-consumer wood is totally consumed.
used potential
The following table shows the available potential of a resource sector (POT) and the used
volume (CON, consumption). The use factor (FAC) represents the proportion used of a
resource. It cannot be higher as 1,00. For all sectors with the factor it was assumed that all
the usable potential is consumed. The usable potential is lower than the theoretical poten-
tial. The latter is higher for all biologically produced resources and for post-consumer wood.

Trade data
extra trade
The overall trade volume of all EU27 countries is quite high due to their high internal trade
volume. For the purpose of this study only the extra-trade is relevant. Thus, only trade
flows between the EU27 and countries outside the EU27 are calculated.
from 100 kg to m³
All trade data from EUROSTAT are reported in value, weight (100 kg) and a supplemen-
tary quantity. This is of course a problem of conversion because all calculations shall be
done in m³ swe. The approach to use the supplementary quantity (reported in EUROSTAT)
in order to determine conversion factors between kg and m³ failed. Thus, the conversion
factors were calculated based on existing conversion factors (UNECE, 2010) and further
assumptions. To analyze conversion factors in detail was not in the scope of this project.
However, we do not expect relevant deviations from the true values. All conversion factors
used in this calculation are published in the following tables.
round wood
The conversion factor of round wood was calculated on the basis of the shipping weight
(UNECE, 2010) for conifers and non-conifers; both fuelwood (20%) and industrial round
wood (80%). Thus, the green weight of conifers is 920 kg/m³ and of non-conifers are
1,087 kg/m³. Some calculations have been done on the proportion of fuelwood and indus-
trial round wood (C+NC). However, the overall proportion is almost exactly 50% for both.
As a consequence, a conversion factor of almost 1 was used (0.996). A conversion factor
of 1.285 was chosen to transfer t into m³ (swe). As a result of these calculations the EU27
imports of round wood are 6.611 M m³ swe and the exports are 2.530 M m³. The net
imports from outside the EU27 are 4.081 M m³ swe.

Conversion factors
semi-finished products
The following table represents the used conversion factors for the products in the first
column. Basically, they are calculated on the product conversion factors (UNECE, 2010;
EUwood 2010) and partly combined with a weighted average of the ingoing market
volumes (C+NC). Conversion factors are often based on weighted averages between
different commodities. This makes the topic of conversion factors so problematic,
because they may change with market changes. This is also the reason why their plau-
sibility decreases with the level of aggregation. Having this in mind, the total conversion
factor for all semi-finished products (3.029 m³/t) might be considered interesting infor-
mation, but it is always more precise to use conversion factors as specifically as possible.

Conversion factors
m³ to m³ or t to m³
One should bear in mind that in the calculations of the wood resource balance the trans-
formation from 1 m³ of a product fibre board (MDF) into solid wood equivalents (1.799) is
different from the calculation from traded tons into m³. A heavy product with a condensed
wood density (MDF) has a lower conversion factor than a product with a normal density
(sawnwood, 1.770) which represents more cubic meter per ton. In contrast, the conver-
sion factor for sawnwood in the wood resource balance would be 1.000. It is an expan-
sion factor from mass to volume.
finished products
The level of aggregation of different resources increases normally with the production
level. On the other hand, almost no conversion factors are available for the extremely high
variety of finished products. A very simple assumption was taken for the product catego-
ries in the following table: The conversion factor of finished wooden products is based
on the conversion factor of sawnwood (1.770).” “Strips” are made from sawnwood and
are not mixed with other materials (1.770). “Packaging” is very similar to sawnwood. The
proportion of panels leads to a lower conversion factor as well as the mixture with other
materials. This is also the case for all other finished products but with a higher proportion
of other materials. Therefore, the conversion factor of sawnwood is decreased by 15% for
“packaging”, by 25% for “building materials” and by 35% for furniture and other.

Semi-finished product sector II
Wood flow description
complexity reduction
The flowchart of the semi-finished product sector is condensed to two main flows, the
pulp and paper flow and the flow of wooden products. The latter is the sum of all wooden
product industries (sawnwood, veneer and plywood, panels and other material uses
(pools, sleepers, dissolving pulp et al.) and producing industries. However, the basic
calculations are done for each single sector because the resource mix of the sectors varies
a lot. Furthermore, the wood flows of industrial residues and the recycling streams are part
of the total picture. However, the total wood flows are too complex to be shown in one flow
diagram. Consequently complexity is reduced.
energy sector
The energy sectors are end use sectors and therefore do not really belong to the semi-
finished product sector. However, from the calculation point of view they are directly
connected with the resource sectors. Only pellets are an energy product that is finally
consumed by one of the wood energy sectors.
condensed flow chart

The wood flow of wood from trees streams into the pulp and paper sector with 107.8 M m³,
the wood industry with 260.6 M m³ and into the energy sector with 208.8 M m³. The pulp
industry consumes 141.8 M m³ swe (107.8 M m³ wood from trees and 34.0 M m³ industrial
residues). From the total wood consumption the equivalent of 82.0 M m³ flows into pulp
and 59.8 M m³ swe is industrial residue (black liquor). The latter is consumed for energy
in wood industry biomass power plants.
The wood industry consumes 314.9 M m³ swe (260.6 M m³ wood from trees, 38.8 M m³
industrial residues and 15.5 M m³ post-consumer wood). From the total wood consump-
tion the equivalent of 217.4 M m³ flows into the broad variety of wooden products and
97.4 M m³ swe are industrial residues (sawmill by products, other industrial residues from
semi (157.2 M m³) and finished production processes (19.1 M m³). 39% of industrial resi-
dues (97.4 M m³ swe) are used in the wood production itself. The rest is used in other
sectors. The total volume of industrial residues (176.3 M m³) includes the use of black
liquor in the pulp and paper industry for heat and power generation as well as respec-
tive plants in the sawmill and panel industry. Including the internal use of black liquor as
“internal” wood industry use, the percentage of the internal use of industrial residues is
already 75%. The internal power and heat use in the wood industry cannot be separated
as well, but most likely the overall internal use of industrial residues in the forest industry
is higher than 80%.
trade
The trade volumes are relatively small. The overall trade activity of the EU27 countries
is much higher. However, all internal trade is not represented in this calculation. Pulp
industry is importing (34.8 M m³ swe) much more than exporting (9.2 M m³ swe). While
the trade balance of the pulp industry is negative, the trade balance of the wood industry
is positive. 14.1 M m³ are imported and 23.6 M m³ are exported outside the EU27.
24
Figure 4: Wood flow chart for the semi-finished product sector (EU27, 2010)
recycling
Woody biomass is a perfectly recyclable product. The recycled amount of the overall recy-
clable potential depends very much on the effectiveness of the collecting system. The
recovery rate for paper in the EU27 is about 74% and has thereby reached almost its tech-
nically possible maximum. The recovery rate for post consumer wood in Europe is very
diverse. While in some countries the recovery rate has almost reached its maximum other
countries are still building up their collecting systems. However, from the overall potential
of 58.5 M m³ in 2010 (EUwood, 2010) 62% (36.1 M m³) are already recovered.
25
Finished product sector
Wood flow description
wood products in the sector of finished products

The wood flow from the semi-finished sector into the finished sector starts with a resource
supply of 298.6 M m³ (swe) of paper products and 188.9 M m³ (swe) of wood products.
In the paper volume 32.7 M m³ non-fiber materials are included. The paper products in
use are 185.2 M m³, whereof 18 M m³ is non collectable material. The overall potential
for paper recycling is 167.2 M m³. 33.2 M m³ are disposed of, 9.7 M m³ are burned in
incineration plants and 3.8 M m³ is used for energy production in biomass power plants.
As a result, 129.4 M m³ of all paper products are recycled and reused in paper produc-
tion. Another 2.9 M m³ is otherwise recycled like for insulation in buildings. Therefore, it is
added to the storage in use.
The wood products (sawnwood, panels, other) will be used in hundreds of finished prod-
ucts made of wood in the field of construction, furniture, packaging and others. However,
not more or less than 188.9 M m³ will be used somewhere in the many production sectors
of finished products. The statistical challenge lies in imports and exports. As described in
the chapter “trade data” all relevant products made of wood have been considered and
the trade statistic, reporting in units of 100 kg was converted into solid wood equivalents
using conversion factors.
trade volume
The overall target of the project is the calculation of the wood flows of the EU27. Thus, only
the EU27 extra trade was considered in these calculations because internal trade between
EU27 countries does not change the quantity of the wood flow of the EU27 as a whole.
The forest industries together export 130.0 M m³. The total imports count for 88.2 M m³
(excluding pellet import), which results in an overall net export of 41,8 M m³.

chapter “trade data”
product to use
The availability on the domestic market is 185.2 M m³ paper products and 169.1 M m³
wood products. Not all of this material can be stored or recovered. Examples for non
collectable products are hygiene paper or tend sticks. CEPI estimates the proportion of
non collectable paper with 8% of the products in use. Nothing is known about the same
proportion for wood products. It is assumed that the proportion is only half as big (4%).
26
Figure 5: Wood flow chart for the finished product sector (EU27, 2010)
recovery rate and storage rate wood products

The recovery rate of paper (market supply) is 69.9%. The same proportion is used for the
volume of recovered paper (fibre). 20.2% of the market volume for end user is disposed
of and 8.2% is burned in incinerations or biomass power plants. 1.7% of the yearly paper
products are used for other recycling options (construction), composting and other treat-
ments. This volume is categorized as storage volume.
The recovery rate of wooden products can be calculated in different ways. One possi-
bility is the overall potential of post consumer wood. This was calculated in EUwood with
52.0 M m³ in 2010. The volume is based on potential studies in some countries. 36.1 M
m³ was used in 2010. Obviously, big proportions of the consumed wood are stored over a
long time and are actually no potential for recovery. Based on the data for the year 2010
only one third of the wood consumption is a potential for post consumer wood. 68.0% of
all wooden products in the end consumer market are stored in use.
carbon sequestration of wood products

In this study only the direct material effects of carbon sequestration for wood products
stored in use are counted. The substitution effects of wood in comparison to other prod-
ucts are not considered. This effect can be four times higher. Furthermore, the use of
wood for bioenergy substitutes fossil energy fuels.
27
Figure 6: Wood flow chart Recycling, disposal and storage in use (CO2), (EU27, 2010)
pellets
Energy use is largely end-use. Only producer of solid wood fuels manufacture products
which are stored before they are finally consumed. In general, the storage time is less
than one year. All pressed solid wood fuels like pellets, briquettes and other are named
“pellets” in this study. The pellet production in the EU27 account for 14.8 M t (AEBIOM
2011). Moisture of 8.5% and a weight of 493 kg/m³ (UNECE, 2010) were assumed, which
results in 27.6 M m³ swe (conversion factor 1.856). 4.7 M m³ of pellets are imported.
Almost no extra trade exports are reported for the EU27 (0.1 M m³) which results in 32.1
M m³ pellet consumption. AEBIOM (2011) reports that 1.5 M t (2.8 M m³ swe) of pellets is
used in biomass power plants. Thus, 29.3 M m³ are used in households.
wood energy end use

The wood energy use is segmented into household consumption (168.6 M m³ swe) and
the consumption of biomass power plants (168.6 M m³ swe). Half of the consumed wood
is used in heat and power plants of the wood industry itself (85.5 M m³ swe) and (83.1 M
m³) in other biomass power plants. Wood industry represents 52% of the total consump-
tion in biomass power plants.
The resources used are segmented in 208.8 M m³ wood from trees (forest, landscape care
wood, short rotation plantations), 103.7 M m³ industrial residues (saw mill by products,
black liquor, other industrial residues), 21.4 M m³ recycling resources (post consumer
wood, recovered paper) and 32.1 M m³ pellets.

economic constraints. The constraints on wood mobilisation applied in this study have
been identified in different international processes, in which recommendations have been
developed to overcome these constraints. These recommendations serve as a starting
point for the mobilisation scenarios defined in this study. The scenarios project different
degrees of success of how the recommendations will be implemented. The scenarios are
defined as follows:
In the high mobilisation scenario there is a strong focus on the use of wood for producing
energy and for other uses. Recommendations by the abovementioned processes have
been successfully translated into measures that lead to an increased mobilisation of
wood. This means that new forest owner associations or co-operations are established
throughout Europe. Together with existing associations, these new associations lead
to improved access of wood to markets. In addition, strong mechanisation is taking
place across Europe and existing technologies are effectively shared between countries
through improved information exchange. Biomass harvesting guidelines will become less
restricting, because technologies are developed that are less harmful for the environment.
Furthermore, possible negative environmental effects of intensified use of forest resources
are considered less important than the negative effects of alternative sources of energy
(i.e. fossil fuels) or alternative building materials (e.g. steel and concrete). Application of
fertiliser is permitted to limit detrimental effects of logging residue and stump extraction
on the soil.
The medium mobilisation scenario builds on the idea that recommendations are not all
fully implemented or do not have the desired effect. New forest owner associations or
co-operations are established throughout Europe, but this does not lead to significant
changes in the availability of wood from private forest owners. Biomass harvesting guide-
lines that have been developed in several countries are considered adequate and similar
guidelines are implemented in other countries through improved information exchange.
Mechanisation of harvesting is taking place, leading to a further shift of motor-manual
harvesting to mechanised harvesting. To protect biodiversity forests are being protected,
but with medium impacts on the harvests that can take place. Application of fertiliser is
permitted to limited extent to limit detrimental effects of logging residue and stump extrac-
tion on the soil.
In the low mobilisation scenario, the recommendations do not have the desired effect,
because the use of wood for producing energy and for other uses is subject to strong
environmental concerns. Possible negative environmental effects of intensified use of
wood are considered very important and lead to strict biomass harvesting guidelines.
Application of fertiliser to limit detrimental effects of logging residue and stump extraction
on the soil is not permitted. Forests are set aside to protect biodiversity with strong limita-
tions on harvest possibilities in these areas. Furthermore, forest owners have a negative
attitude towards intensifying the use of their forests. Mechanisation of harvesting is taking
place, leading to a shift of motor-manual harvesting to mechanised harvesting, but with
little effect on the intensity of resource use.

INGEDE - International Organisation of the Deinking Industry
Secretary General:
Andreas M. Faul
Products covered:
INGEDE’s focus is on the recycling process and the raw material (paper for recycling). The INGEDE members produce graphic
paper (newsprint, higher quality papers as LWC and SC, office papers) and hygiene paper made from paper for recycling,
mainly from household collection.
Membership:
Pulp and paper mills operating deinking plants.
Countries covered:
Members come from Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. Activities (dialogue within the paper value chain) extend also to other countries, e. g. the
US.
In 1989, leading European paper mills founded INGEDE to support collection and utilisation of more paper for recycling, also
for higher quality graphic papers. Paper recycling should harm the environment as little as possible, and it should also lead to a
high quality product. To achieve these goals, everybody in the value chain has to cooperate. INGEDE consequently developed
to a European expert association on deinking technology and recyclability of graphic printed products, today focussing at
research and supporting the voluntary declaration of European paper chain associations with ambitious recycling rates in
Europe.
In the meantime, INGEDE’s activities expand more and more towards securing the existing paper raw material base, raising
awareness among the paper chain about undeinkable inks coming from new printing processes like waterbased inkjet and UV
cured inks as well as Indigo liquid toner inks. These have the potential even in small amounts to seriously interfere with the
recycling process.

Monthly and annual statistics on quality of paper for recycling and on deinking process. Statistics are not published as a whole
but used in presentations, lectures and articles.
