Asia Pulp & Paper
Asia Pulp & Paper, also known in the paper industry as APP, based in Singapore, is one of the largest pulp and paper companies in the world. It was founded by Eka Tjipta Widjaja, who had significant ties to the Suharto ruling family in Indonesia. APP claims to obtain 80–90% of the fibre for papermaking from sustainable plantations. Many organisations have documented that a significant portion of its raw materials come from rainforests in addition to plantation wood. APP claims it is now working actively to rely on sustainable plantations for future production.
It can produce about 2 million tons of pulp and more than 5 million tons of paper and packaging materials per year. Part of the Sinar Mas Group, it operates plants in Indonesia and China and sells to clients in more than 60 countries around the world.

Famous quotes containing the words asia, pulp and/or paper:
“Incarnate devil in a talking snake,
The central plains of Asia in his garden,
In shaping-time the circle stung awake,
In shapes of sin forked out the bearded apple....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
“Two heavy trestles, and a board
Where Sato’s gift, a changeless sword,
By pen and paper lies,
That it may moralise
My days out of their aimlessness.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
