Agenda 2020 Launches 'Roadmaps' to Efficiency, Sustainability, and New Product Goals

摘要

"Excellent—we have detailed, action-focused roadmaps. Time to take a road trip!" That was Kapstone's Fritz Paulsen, chair of Agenda 2020, celebrating the release last spring of five technology pathways to increased sustainability and efficiency in pulp and paper manufacture and to new opportunities in cellulosic nanomaterials. At the time, Paulsen and Agenda 2020 Executive Director David Turpin were launching the next phase of the effort—implementation. "It's a milestone for the industry," Turpin added. "One of our teams has already issued requests for proposal to conduct the research they identified. All of the teams are now conducting or at least guiding projects, with ambitious plans to move forward."
