TAPPI is proud to recommend ForestBioFacts, the digital learning environment for professionals and students in the forest-based bioeconomy.


Created by PI Forest Product Engineers of Finland, this resource was constructed as a continuation of the Papermaking Science and Technology book series. ForestBioFacts updates and modernizes the scope of the comprehensive series with a shift toward nanocellulose, energy, textiles and biofuels with emphasis toward pulp and board. Over 150 top professionals from academia and industry have contributed to the 16 modules covering the whole forest-based bioeconomy value chain.
