The Wisconsin Paper Council (WPC) is the premier trade association which advocates for Wisconsin’s paper, pulp and forestry industries before state and federal elected officials and regulators. The WPC also works to educate the general public and the media about the importance of paper, pulp and forestry production in Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest.

Wisconsin’s papermaking industry is a key economic driver for our great state - employing over 30,000 highly skilled men and women whose efforts continue to make us the number one papermaking state in the United States. Our industry is focused on sustainability and strong environmental stewardship. The WPC advocates for common-sense regulations that balances a healthy environment with a healthy economy.
