PPRC Position Paper on Fiber Supply

The forest products industry needs fiber to operate American mills and provide jobs. Although there is a more than an adequate supply of fiber in the United States, obtaining available, dependable and affordable sources of fiber supply is the problem.
The PPRC seeks a balanced solution from Congress and the Administration to ensure
an adequate supply of fiber to keep our mills operating.

The PPRC is a grassroots organization representing the interests of the nation's pulp, paper, solid wood products, and other natural resource-based workers. The U.S. forest products industry is vitally important to our nation's economy, employing 1.5 million people. We rank among the top 10 manufactures in 46 states with annual sales exceeding $230 billion, which accounts for 7% of the U.S. manufacturing shipments. We are people dedicated to conserving the environment while taking into account the economic stability of the workforce and surrounding community.
