The paper and packaging industry lies at the heart of an ecosystem where sustainability and environmental responsibility are top priorities.

Every fibre of paper, every wave of cardboard, tells a story of regeneration and commitment to the planet. Companies in the sector exploit cellulose, a raw material derived from wood, to produce a wide range of products, such as packaging, hygiene articles and graphic papers.

In France, the sector employs approximately 63,500 people across around 1,500 companies. The industry is adapting to shifting consumption patterns by offering alternatives to plastic and promoting a circular economy.

With plants of varying sizes and increasingly digitalised processes, the paper and board industry is evolving to meet market demands and new trends.
