NOVEL IDEAS
The open architecture of Biofore
House, our new office building,
encourages people to work
together and provides inspiration
for novel ideas. The Biofore House
is an excellent example of
ecological building, and it utilises
UPM's materials extensively and
creatively.

RESOURCE EFFICIENCY IS KEY

from ICCT discovered some
startling results: waste-based

The Biofore Concept Car
was unveiled at the Geneva
International Motor Show in
March. Majority of its parts that
would traditionally be made from
plastics have been replaced with
UPM's renewable biomaterials. It
is an excellent representation of
UPM's Biofore strategy based on
use of renewable raw materials.
Biofuel production holds
a great deal of potential
for growth and profitable
business, says Chris Malins,
ICCT's Fuels Programme
Lead. For him, forest
industry companies have
the advantage in biofuel
markets.
