UPM Joins Cefic To Strengthen The Role Of Renewable Chemistry In Europe
UPM, the world-leading producer of wood-based biochemicals and biofuels, has joined Cefic – the European Chemical Industry Council. By becoming part of Europe’s strongest chemical industry network, UPM underlines its commitment to strengthening the role of renewable chemistry as an integral part of a competitive and sustainable European chemical industry.
“Europe’s chemical industry is vital for our continent’s prosperity and technological leadership,” says Harald Dialer, Executive Vice President, UPM Biorefining & Technology. “As a pioneer in wood-based biochemicals and biofuels, we are determined to help secure a strong, innovative and sustainable European chemical industry – one that is built on renewable and circular solutions.”
“We welcome UPM as a leading representative of the growing bio-based segment of our industry,” says Marco Mensink, Director General of Cefic. “Bio-based chemistry is key to achieving climate neutrality while driving innovation and securing Europe’s industrial competitiveness.”
UPM’s membership in Cefic marks another step in the company’s transformation from a forest industry leader into a major player in the European chemical landscape. With its state-of-the-art biorefinery in Leuna, Germany, UPM is pioneering the production of wood-based biochemicals – renewable alternatives to fossil-based materials used in packaging, textiles, and automotive applications.
By advancing renewable chemistry and bio-based innovation, UPM contributes to Europe’s industrial resilience, decarbonization, and the creation of high-value industry jobs.
