Everyday essentials and new innovations from the forest

We use wood-based products daily. In addition, the forest industry is constantly developing new wood-based products to replace those made from fossil fuels. Wood is a versatile raw material, with its major advantages being renewable and recyclable. Innovations in the forest industry are paving the way for a more sustainable future.

What is Forest of Opportunities?

Forest of Opportunities - Finland's biggest workplace is a school campaign for 8th-grade students in Finland. In this campaign, forestry experts visit schools and talk about career opportunities in the forest industry as well as wood-based products and innovations. During the visit, the students get a clearer idea of what today's forest industry is really like: Its diverse study and job opportunities, how sustainability is related to everything the industry does, and all the products that can be manufactured from wood.

Since 2013, the campaign Forest of Opportunities has been coordinated by the Finnish Forest Industries Federation and the Finnish Forest Association together with forestry companies.
