  2. Green Economy “In its simplest expression, a green economy can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.” - United Nations Environment Programme “(green economy) should contribute to eradicating poverty as well as sustained economic growth, enhancing social inclusion, improving human welfare and creating opportunities for employment and decent work for all, while maintaining the healthy functioning of the Earth’s ecosystems.” - The Future We want (Rio+20 Outcome Document)

  3. Paper recycling Recycling of forests Paper industry is a green and sustainable industry Pulp & paper mill Building Construction material Woodchip (Digestion) Demolition wood Fiber Lignin and other Slab 50% 50% (Reuse of chemicals) Black liquor (Washing) Chopsticks Round wood (Bleaching) Evaporation (Recovery of chemicals) Thinning wood Recycled pulp Wood pulp Global warming 36% 64% Fuel for power generation (Papermaking) Fuel for power generation (De-inking) Newsprint Industrial forest plantation (Recovered paper recovery) 50% 50% CO2 emission Fossil fuel Renewable/waste fuel Copy paper (Combustion) Generated steam　→　Power generation Publication paper On-site use (steam, electricity) Forest plantation Tissue (CO2 absorption) Paper waste Growing with absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere CO2 recycling

  4. Recovered Paper Utilization Rate in Japan % 64.0 Year 1995 Target of 56% by 2000 Year 2000 Target of 60% by 2005 Year 1990 Target of 55% by 1995 Year 2010 Target of 64% by 2015 Year 2005 Target of 62% by 2010 Year 1991 Law for the Promotion of Utilization of Recycled Resources Source: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Note: Utilization rate = recovered paper consumption + recovered paper pulp consumption / total raw material consumption

  5. Recovered Paper Recovery Rate in Japan % Year 2000 The Basic Law for Establishing the Recycling-based Society Revised Wastes Disposal and Public Cleaning Act Source: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry

  6. Global Warming Measures in the Japanese Paper Industry

  7. JPA’s Committed Action Plan forthe Environment • Established in 1997 • Targets set in the plan had been raised several times since establishment • Final target: Reduce specific fossil energy consumption and fossil energy-derived CO2 emission intensity on a five-year average basis from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2012 by 20% and 16%, respectively, from the level of fiscal 1990.

  8. Specific Energy Consumption and CO2 Emission Intensity (FY 1990 as 100) Source: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan Paper Association

  9. Investment for FY 2000-2012

  10. Factors of Changes in Fossil Energy Derived CO2 Emissions

  11. Composition of Energy Consumption by Energy type Waste and renewal energy account for half of energy consumption in FY 2012 FY 2012 FY 1990 Renewable energy: black liquor, waste wood, bark,paper sludge, etc., Waste energy: refuse paper and plastic fuel (RPF),waste plastic, waste tire, etc.,

  12. JPA’s Action Plan for Low Carbon Society Target: • For the fiscal 2020, reduce fossil-energy-derived CO2 emissions by 1.39 million tons from BAU through: • Promoting energy conversion from heavy oil to biomass (waste wood, thinning wood and slash) and waste energy. • Introducing high-efficient recovered paper pulping units. • Introducing energy-efficient high temperature and pressure recovery boilers.

  13. JPA’s Action Plan for Low Carbon Society Target: • In view of increasing forest carbon sinks that help prevent global warming, as well as ensuring stable supply of raw materials, expand forest plantation area owned or managed by JPA member companies at home and abroad by 525 thousand hectares compared with the fiscal 1990 level to 800 thousand hectares by fiscal 2020.

  14. Forest Plantation Area by the Japanese Paper Industry (1,000ha)

  15. Overseas Forest Plantations by the Japanese Paper Industry

  16. Development of New Bio Products • Japanese paper industry actively promotes R&D on innovative bio products (e.g. bioethanol and CNF) through its unique woody biomass utilization technology. • These innovative products from wood fiber are expected to be adopted in chemicals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and more, replacing traditional products have higher environmental footprints.

  17. Biomass Power Generation • Paper manufacturers are expanding biomass power generation since FIT started in July 2012 • Major biomass power generation projects

  18. Towards “Green Economy”, we should: • Promote further paper recycling -Establishing a recovered paper collection system involving governments, private sectors and citizens is essential for improving paper recycling • Improve energy efficiency -Objective evaluation based on data is fundamental for improving energy efficiency. -Each association needs to play a central role in building a database on energy consumption
