The database contains data on pulp and paper production, pulp and paper production capacity, information about utilization of recovered paper, and short-term capacity forecasts for major pulp and paper producing countries. The main types of pulp included in this database are wood pulp (mechanical, thermo-mechanical, semi-chemical pulp, and chemical pulp), pulp of other fibre, and dissolving wood pulp. The main types of paper included in this database are graphic papers (newsprint, printing and writing paper) and other paper and paperboard. The latter is further subdivided into detailed categories of packaging paper and paperboard, household and sanitary paper, and other paper and paperboard not elsewhere specified.
