The world of paper is undoubtedly in crisis, but it is above all the small paper manufacturers who are suffering from the energy crisis. Some even suspend production. But the big papermakers who have invested, for example, in biomass power plants are less dependent from an energy point of view and are therefore doing better.
Rising paper costs are a factor to be addressed. Unfortunately, we have no other solution than to pass on these increases to our customers.
But paper is a noble material and more and more consumers are realizing it. It comes from a renewable source, wood. If we respect a reasoned use. This is why Bong is committed to sourcing only certified paper from sustainably managed forests that are FSC or PEFC certified. And it is above all recyclable with a recycling channel that is probably the most successful of materials.
And paper, even if it suffers, also offers us real opportunities. In this changing world, you have to know how to grasp them quickly and adapt very quickly. What is unprecedented is certainly the speed with which the environment in which we evolve changes.

Climate issues are also pushing some of our customers to relocate their supplies previously made in Asia to European producers. Bong has thus signed a 4-year agreement with a European cosmetics customer to supply it with products that it previously purchased in China. This has gone through an investment in 3 production lines dedicated to this client, which provide work for around twenty people.
