The pulp and paper industry faces a pressing need to decarbonize, requiring a 36% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2022 levels, which translates to a 5% annual decline in emissions intensity to align with the Net Zero Scenario (IEA).<\/strong> This challenge is further complicated by a projected 9% increase in production by 2030, driven by growing global demand for consumer packaging, building materials, and other paper-based solutions.

STRIVE by STX empowers companies to elevate their decarbonization strategies, ensuring alignment with end-customer expectations and voluntary commitments, as well as Science-Based Targets (SBTi). By partnering with us, pulp and paper producers can develop tailored, interconnected solutions to comprehensively manage Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions across their entire value chain, from upstream to production and downstream phases.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
