Who is TAPPI?

TAPPI is the leading technical association for the worldwide pulp, paper, and converting industry. Our members work at the science of papermaking every day; it is their job to understand the facts about papermaking and forest practices, and how to protect our environment while producing the quality paper products we all need and enjoy.

Students and teachers have found the study of paper to be a unique and thought-provoking link to science, math, social studies, history, and art. TAPPI publishes a variety of educational materials which offer students insight into the history, manufacture, and science of paper. We provide students with factual information - from a scientific, technical point of view - about this versatile, intriguing, and essential product.
