ECOTARGET - an EU-funded research project

ECOTARGET aims at supporting the pulp and paper industry of Europe with innovative new processes, from making pulp to paper. The most radical ideas for new processes have been gathered into ECOTARGET. The "red thread", binding together all these process ideas, is described as More from Less. This means producing more functionality using less resources. All ideas within ECOTARGET aims at reducing the use at least one of the four target areas: Wood Raw Material, Energy, Water, Waste & Emissions. Each idea has a potential of 20-30 % reduction in one or several of these target areas.
