What is the bioeconomy?

The bioeconomy is a crucial component of sustainable growth. The realisation of the bioeconomy hinges on strong biomass availability, the success of existing industry, and the development of new products.

Forest industry builds a sustainable bioeconomy

The benefits of wood and fibre as renewable and recyclable materials come to the fore in the bioeconomy of the future where materials and natural resources are used efficiently and in ways that maximise added value.

The success of the bioeconomy requires existing industry to thrive

Strong biomass availability, the success of existing industry, and the development of new products are the most important factors contributing to the development of the bioeconomy. Finland must focus especially on forest growth, wood availability, and on securing the forest industry’s operating conditions.
