“The press release, titled “UPM swaps the road for the river in France,” outlined the use of river barges to carry finished paper products from the UPM Chapelle Darblay mill in Rouen to the end-users in the Paris area. The barge then returns to the mill loaded with a shipment of waste paper from collection centers in Paris. Using this recovered paper, UPM manufactures paper rolls which are then used by the printers of the major daily newspapers in Paris. The finished paper rolls are transported along the same waterway system.”

“UPM has signed a Leadership Declaration as part of a “Business and Biodiversity Initiative” launched at the United Nation’s Convention on Biological Diversity (UN CBD). UPM supports the UN CBD’s aim of integrating the business sector to enhance biodiversity.”
