Dear Sir or Madam,
For many years, the PAPER & BIOREFINERY CONFERENCE (PBC) in Graz has been an established industry highlight of the paper and pulp industry. Together with its associated value chains, our sector will again discuss topics and issues of particular importance for our future. As the event initiators, we warmly invite you to join us on June 4th and 5th, 2025!
The PBC is offering a varied programme focusing on key topics. It will be complemented by an interesting tradeshow where innovative partners from our industry present their products and solutions and invite visitors to network. Additionally, the social evenings provide the perfect setting for making new contacts or refreshing older ones.
At this year’s conference, the network Women4PaperIndustry will also come together again to promote today's female papermakers and recognise their outstanding achievements.
FIBER – ENERGY – WATER: Closing the loops for a better tomorrow
Faced with scarce resources and great environmental responsibility, we are placing a special focus on circular economy this year. It is recognised as an effective key to climate neutrality and competitiveness. Being a pioneer in this field, our sector has already successfully implemented innovative systems – particularly in the management of fibres, energy and water. By systematically closing further loops, we will be able to remain fit for the future and powerful in the long term.
Following this sustainable approach, we are very much looking forward to welcoming you to the PAPER & BIOREFINERY CONFERENCE in Graz!
Wolfgang Bauer - Chairman APV Graz
Martin Zahlbruckner - President Austropapier
Gottfried Joham - President ÖZEPA
