The harvest of natural resources is the backbone of the thriving Canadian economy. Without a viable pulp and paper industry it is not possible to have a viable forestry industry. Traditionally, BC and Canada’s pulp and paper sector has been a newsprint exporter to the US market. The recent economic downturn, coupled with disruptive technologies for paperless communication, has resulted in a 40% reduction in newsprint and communication paper consumption. This turning point means that the forest industry’s survival depends on Canada’s ability to develop innovative new uses for high quality BC wood fibers.

自然资源的收获是加拿大经济繁荣的支柱。没有一个可行的纸浆和造纸工业，就不可能有一个可行的林业。传统上，不列颠哥伦比亚省和加拿大的纸浆和造纸部门一直是美国市场的新闻纸出口商。最近的经济衰退，加上无纸化通信的颠覆性技术，导致新闻纸和通信纸的消耗量减少了40%。这一转折点意味着林业的生存取决于加拿大开发高质量BC木纤维创新用途的能力。
