At #PRIMA2026 in Vienna, Cepi Director General Jori Ringman highlighted why the EU Bioeconomy Strategy matters for Europe’s future growth. The forest-based bioeconomy is a strategic asset for competitiveness, resilience and decarbonisation. #Bioeconomy #CircularEconomy

How does the transition from a fossil economy to a Carbon Economy look like in practice for European industry over the next decade? Henrik Sjölund (CEO of @HolmenAB & Chairman of @CEPI_Paper) outlined the practical reality: a system where carbon is treated as a resource, not waste. 👇 @IntergrafAISBL @Pro_Carton @FBCAglobal @bioenergyEU @ceettar @CEIBois @CEPF_EU @COPACOGECA @ECMAorg @EFIC_bxl

How does Christian Holzleitner think carbon removals can be translated into EU policy? Building on conversation, Christian Holzleitner - DG discussed bringing carbon removals into EU policy via a unified target that spans forests, bio-CCS, and harvested wood products. @ceettar @CEIBois @CEPF_EU @COPACOGECA @ECMAorg @EFIC_bxl @europanels_EPF @EPPA_EU @ETSchoices @EUSTAFOR

As the carbon economy grows, certification systems are evolving. @PEFC's Maja Drča highlights how they are shifting from traditional sustainability assurance to vital enablers of climate credibility, bridging the gap between on-the-ground forest verification and EU Carbon Removals frameworks. @europanels_EPF @EPPA_EU @ETSchoices @EUSTAFOR @FEFCO

📣 For our keynote speaker Christian Holzleitner, Europe’s #ClimateStrategy is entering a new phase: one that goes beyond reducing emissions and starts treating carbon as something to actively manage, capture, and store. @ETSchoices @EUSTAFOR @FEFCO @ForestETP @IntergrafAISBL @Pro_Carton @FBCAglobal @bioenergyEU @ceettar @CEIBois

💬 How do we protect nature while scaling the EU bioeconomy? What role do forests and forest-based value chains have in delivering this vision? 🎤 Experts @Maja_Drca, Henrik Sjölund, Christian Holzleitner have the answers. 👉 Register now: eventbrite.com/e/the-forest-…

📢 Save the date. On 10 June, #CircularChoices brings the debate to Brussels: how can forests deliver carbon removals, restore ecosystems, and support sustainable land use across Europe? 👉 Register: eventbrite.com/e/the-forest-…

🧩💡 Circularity starts with system thinking. It’s not just about end-of-life, it’s about designing the whole system from the start. The forest-based bioeconomy shows how this works: where sustainable sourcing, design, production, use, & recovery are aligned in 1 continuous loop.
