2 CEPI Key Statistics 2011
Introduction
Welcome to the latest issue of CEPIs Key Statistics, covering data for
2011. This booklet contains the key statistics necessary to give a picture
of the performance of the European pulp and paper industry in 2011.
The statistics included in this booklet is a compilation of the data received from the national
associations, which are members of CEPI, under the control of the CEPI Statistics Network.
Some additional sources have been used when necessary and relevant, such as Eurostat.
Extra statistical information is accessible on line for members on www.cepi.org under the
Members Only section. Some extra statistical information is also available to non-Members
by subscription.
CEPI was founded in 1992 and annual statistics cover the period 19912011, CEPI represents
95% of the European pulp and paper industry in terms of production.
The Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) is a Brussels-based non-prot
making organisation, which represents the European pulp and paper industry towards
the European Institutions. Through its member associations, CEPI also represents some
520 pulp, paper and board producing companies across Europe, ranging from small and
medium-sized enterprises, to multinationals (counting companies with a presence in more
than one CEPI country only once).
Members of CEPI in 2011
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The
Netherlands, United Kingdom.
Notes
Paper & board consumption: CEPI has revised its method of calculating paper & board
consumption to be Production + Imports Exports, to secure higher level of coherency
through all CEPI reports and with membership. All previous paper consumption totals used
in this report have also been revised using this method.
Paper for Recycling: to clarify the intended use of collected paper for recycling in paper
mills, it has been decided to substitute the term recovered paper by paper for recycling.
This change anticipates the forthcoming revision of the EN 643 European List of standard
grades of paper and board for recycling.

For example: case materials represent 26% of total paper and board production, have an utilisation rate of 95% and use 48.6% of total paper
for recycling volumes used by the industry.
Important Note: Paper for recycling is composed of bres but also unusable materials - non-paper components as well as paper and board
detrimental to production. The share of unusable materials depends on the actual sorting and collection of used paper. It varies according
to grades of paper for recycling and countries. The volume of recycled bres actually used to produce new paper is therefore lower than the
volume of paper for recycling considered. The utilisation rate compares utilisation of paper for recycling to paper & board production.

Glossary
PULP
Pulp Consumption: Internal deliveries + Imports from outside CEPI.
Pulp Grades
Mechanical Stone groundwood: pulp produced by grinding wood into relatively short bres.
CEPI Harmonised Code is 923 000 000.
Thermo-mechanical: pulp produced in a thermo-mechanical process where wood particles are softened by steam
before entering a pressurised rener. CEPI Harmonised Code is 923 400 000.
Semi-chemical: pulp produced in a two-stage process which involves partial digestion with chemicals,
followed by mechanical treatment in a disc rener. CEPI Harmonised Code is 921 000 000.
Chemical Sulphite: pulp produced by cooking wood chips in a pressure vessel in the presence of bisulphite liquor.
CEPI Harmonised Code is 922 200 000.
Chemical Sulphate (or kraft): pulp produced by cooking wood chips in pressure vessels in the presence of a sodium
hydroxide (soda) liquor. CEPI Harmonised Code is 922 100 000.
Other Pulp: pulp produced from bres other than wood, such as sugar cane bagasse, wheat straw, kenaf,
cotton rags and hemp.
PAPER
Paper and Board Consumption: Production + Imports from outside CEPI - Exports to outside CEPI.
Paper Grades
Newsprint: paper mainly used for printing newspapers. CEPI Harmonised Code is 100 000 000.
Uncoated Mechanical: paper suitable for printing or other graphic purposes where less than 90%
of the bre furnish consists of chemical pulp bres. CEPI Harmonised Code is 211 000 000.
Uncoated Woodfree: paper suitable for printing or other graphic purposes, where at least 90%
of the bre furnish consists of chemical pulp bres. CEPI Harmonised Code is 231 000 000.
Coated Papers: all paper suitable for printing or other graphic purposes and coated on one or both sides
with minerals such as china clay (kaolin), calcium carbonate, etc.
CEPI Harmonised Code for Coated Mechanical is 212 000 000 and for Coated Woodfree is 232 000 000.
Sanitary and Household: this covers a wide range of tissue and other hygienic papers for use in households or
commercial and industrial premises. CEPI Harmonised Code is 700 000 000.
Case Materials: papers and boards mainly used in the manufacture of corrugated board. Included are kraftliner,
testliner, semi-chemical uting, and waste-based uting (Wellenstoff). Also known as containerboard, corrugated
case materials, cardboard, linerboard or corrugating medium. CEPI Harmonised Code is 300 000 000.
Carton Board: made from virgin and/or recovered bres, mainly used in cartons for consumer products.
Also known as solid board, folding box board, boxboard or carrier board. CEPI Harmonised Code is 400 000 000.
Wrappings (up to 125 g/m
2
): papers whose main use is wrapping or packaging made from any combination
of virgin or recovered bres, bleached or unbleached. Included are sack kraft, other wrapping krafts, sulphite
and grease-proof papers. CEPI Harmonised Code is 500 000 000.
Other Papers mainly for Packaging Purposes: this category embraces all paper and board mainly for packaging
purposes other than those listed above. CEPI Harmonised Code is 600 000 000.
Other Paper and Board: includes cigarette papers and lter papers, as well as gypsum liners and special papers
for waxing, insulating, roong, asphalting, and other specic applications or treatments. CEPI Harmonised Code
is 800 000 000.
PAPER FOR RECYCLING
Collection: utilisation plus exports minus imports of paper for recycling.
Utilisation Rate: percentage of paper for recycling utilisation compared to the total paper & board production.*
Recycling Rate: utilisation of paper for recycling + net trade of paper for recycling, compared to paper & board consumption.
Utilisation by Sector: total utilisation of paper for recycling in a sector as percentage of the overall utilisation of paper
for recycling.
* Important Note: Paper for recycling is composed of bres but also unusable materials non-paper components as well as paper and board
detrimental to production. The share of unusable materials depends on the actual sorting and collection of used paper. It varies according
to paper for recycling grades and countries. The volume of recycled bres actually used to produce new paper is therefore lower than the
volume of paper for recycling considered. The utilisation rate compares utilisation of paper for recycling to paper & board production.
