How has the transformation of media and learning material from tangible paper form to the web-based “cloud” form affected the pulp and paper industry? The impact is something most people can probably guess. As media goes online, many newspapers are becoming filled with ads. As online courses and reading materials grow in popularity, textbook companies are also strapped for cash. The list continues.

A “greener” information-based society is a concept that excites not only environmentalists, but regular folks. Those of us who enjoy clean air, water and other niceties, for example, probably like the sound of it. And though too many forests are cleared and resources eaten up in product packaging, it’s safe to say we are less reliant on trees for our reading needs.

So it’s not surprising that many pulp and paper companies are going through difficult times. In recent years in states like Maine, where many people count on the industry’s prosperity, it has been harder to recruit workers because of a prevalent belief that the business has one foot in the grave. Despite this, many insist that it is not a dying business, but just as many companies need to reshape with changing times, the pulp and paper industry needs to do the same.

Increasingly buyers seek compact products–especially in electronics. Lightweight and elegant models aren’t only trendy, but more eco-friendly. One could even say that the new aesthetic is one manifestation of the “green” technology movement.
