Representatives from a wide range of organisations interested in the production and use of ‘poplar’ have created the non-profit European poplar association, in short Pro-Populus.
The new association is said to be unique in the sense that, for the first time ever, it assembles both growers, promoters and industrial users of poplar for the variety of uses it offers (panels, packaging, energy, etc).
Main goals of the association are to position poplar as a strategic raw material; defend and represent the production and use of poplar; and present a platform for information exchange.
The creation of the association is supported by CEI-Bois, the European Confederation of Woodworking Industries, where the association has its legal seat.
