Dear ipw reader,

once again, new EU regulations are kicking up some dust!

From now on, vacuum cleaners sold in EU markets must not be endowed with more than 1,600 watts, and only 900 watt in three years’ time. This ban has already caused quite a stir: in the UK, for example, retailers like Tesco were reporting a 40% spike in sales from consumers wanting a powerful model before they disappear. Furthermore, media are overflowing with scathing remarks.

What does this have to do with paper? This regulation is part of EU’s action plan to fight climate change. And the willingness and ability to put such a plan into operation is an essential building block for this industry’s future. If the pulp and paper industry wants to be an important enabler of the bio economy, the EU has to be successful in getting there.

And: It has to make sure that people are willing to come along.

Will people really 'buy into' helping stem-off climate change when a lot of energy is seemingly wasted looking at odds and ends? And would it not be better to focus on promoting energy-saving options rather than on prohibitive action?

Sincerely,
