Paper and Pulp: An Industry That’s Circular by Nature

There is a growing recognition among businesses and con­sumers that we must move away from a linear “take, make, waste” model of consumption where we extract materials, produce things and discard products to landfills. We are now embracing circular economy models, which by design are restorative and regenerative. Done properly, the final result is a system in which material streams are efficiently managed and recycled.

Resilience Planning Will Help Increase Awareness for Properly Valuing Water

For years, those working in the water industry have realized a truth that is now reaching a broader audience – water is woefully underpriced.
