paper industry

Mill-based cellulose production

The paper industry encompasses businesses involved in producing paper and paper products—from pulp mills processing wood fiber to manufacturers of printing paper, packaging, tissue, and cardboard.

The paper industry has faced declining demand as digital communication replaces print.

The industry remains significant for packaging materials even as newsprint consumption falls.
