The Paper360° 2021 TOP 50 POWER LIST, Paper360º July/August 2021

Welcome to the 14th Top 50 Power List.

It will come as no surprise that COVID-19 still dominates our list for 2021. However, it seems the authorities around the world have managed to get at least some control, and a bit of normality is beginning to return. But it must be said the coronavirus has been a shocker for the world as well as for the pulp and paper industry.

Although it has been grim, there is a silver lining. The pulp and paper industry has shined, proved itself resilient, and above all has proved that the products our mills make are essential ingredients for everyday life, particularly when it comes to packaging and tissue. It must also be mentioned that technical suppliers to the industry have more than stepped up to the plate; heroic stories are emerging of how mills have kept running, and some have even continued to expand, starting up new capacity during the pandemic—kudos to the suppliers.

According to our list, it looks like the next dominating factors going forward are sustainability and diversity. The work never stops, let’s make it fun!

We would be delighted to receive feedback from you on this list for 2021, and of course who should be on our list next year. Please contact Graeme Rodden (grodden@tappi.org) or Mark Rushton (mrushton@tappi.org) with your comments, ideas, and nominations.
