The global paper industry is gaining momentum as a key player in transitioning to a circular economy, with sustainability and carbon neutrality at its core. The Thai and International Pulp and Paper Industries Association, in collaboration with Informa Markets, is set to host ASEAN Paper Bangkok 2025, a landmark event aimed at advancing eco-friendly practices and fostering a sustainable ecosystem for the pulp, paper, tissue, and packaging sectors.
Global Paper Industry Trends: A Shift Toward Sustainability
Mr. Jo Min, President of the Myanmar Pulp and Paper Industry Association, highlighted the global paper industry’s commitment to environmental goals. Stricter trade regulations and policies, from raw material sourcing to end-to-end production processes, are driving the industry’s transformation. The focus is on sustainable production, recycling, and resource efficiency, positioning paper as a vital component of the circular economy.
Key attributes of paper, such as its ability to be recycled multiple times, biodegradability, and compatibility with modern technologies, make it a cornerstone of sustainable practices. Innovations like energy-efficient production, water recycling systems, and the use of agricultural waste as alternative raw materials are enhancing the industry’s environmental footprint. The ASEAN region, with its cost-effective production, high paper demand, and large economic bloc, is a global hub for the pulp and paper industry, attracting investments from leading companies worldwide.

It serves as a dynamic platform for industry leaders, innovators, and experts to shape the future of the pulp and paper sector.
