Supply Chain
Paper and Pulp Supply Chain
The paper and pulp supply chain is governed by three structural constraints that determine who can produce, what they can produce, and how the industry evolves: cellulose fiber dependency means all paper requires either virgin wood pulp from managed forests or recycled fiber that degrades with each reuse cycle, mill capital intensity means a modern pulp mill costs one to three billion dollars and must run continuously to remain economical, and the packaging shift means paper demand is migrating from printing and writing grades to packaging as e-commerce grows — but the same mills cannot easily switch between grades, creating simultaneous overcapacity and shortage across different product categories.
Plastics Supply Chain
The plastics supply chain converts oil and gas derivatives into the polymer materials that become bottles, packaging, pipes, dashboards, medical tubing, and shopping bags, governed by three root constraints: petrochemical feedstock dependency that permanently couples plastic economics to energy markets, resin-to-product diversity explosion where a handful of base resins branch into millions of end products through compounding, molding, and extrusion with incompatible specifications, and recycling thermodynamics where most plastics degrade with each reprocessing cycle — unlike metals — creating a structural downcycling problem that limits circularity.
