Paper firms across Italy are halting
production due to the energy shock caused by the Ukraine war,
Assocarta chief Lorenzo Poli said Tuesday.
He said the crisis was hitting the entire chain of production
and included packing material, toilet paper, health and medical
paper, graphic paper for publishing and media, the circular
economy and paper recycling.
"We held out, even producing at a loss, but in these days an
increasing number of paper plants are halting production and
cutting activity," said Poli.
"The pandemic didn't stop us, but an energy shock is succeeding,
following the crisis between Ukraine and Russia".
