In this episode we explore ForestBioFacts, a new “digital learning platform” from the Finnish Forest Products Engineers’ Association (PI). Covering 16 different learning themes (see list below), ForestBioFacts is based on PI’s popular and comprehensive Papermaking Science and Technology book series. 

Paper360° Editorial Director Jan Bottiglieri is joined by Markku Herrala, director, corporate communications, UPM; Heli Kankare, development manager at PI; and Dr. Antti Lindqvist, managing director at PI as well as the publishing company Paperi & Puu Ltd.

We’ll learn about the development of this innovative offering and how users can leverage the digital platform to educate those in both technical and non-technical fields—and our guests will also share their thoughts about exciting things ahead for our “wood-based future.”
