To meet the changing needs of members to get information about their specific market segments, TAPPI has come up with two customized publications. One is for the Nonwovens industry and the other is for the Bioenergy community.

Nonwovens: The Nonwovens industry embraces a range of specialty interests – from hygiene and fabrics to filtration, insulation and more. Its activities are closely covered in TAPPI's Caught in the NET weekly newsletter. NET is the shorthand that TAPPI uses for Nonwovens Engineers & Technologists who deal with this business segment on a daily basis.

Market trends, industry challenges, and information from market solution providers are just some of what appears in the weekly distribution of news that comes to subscribers. Not already a subscriber? It's easy. It's available free to all industry professionals. Just sign up online or notify TAPPI's NET contact Craig McKinney at cmckinney@tappi.org for more information.

Bioenergy: During the past two years, TAPPI has become increasingly focused on the biofuels and bioenergy business segment. This effort formalized what had been a historical sector of the pulp and paper industry for more than a century. The newsletter itself is a direct response to growing interest inside and outside of the forest products industry.

First starting with a quarterly publication Bioenergy Technologies Quarterly, TAPPI heard from readers who needed more frequent updates on what was happening in their fast-changing environment. The result was Bioenergy Technologies Monthly.

As reader needs continue to evolve, the publication was most recently relaunched as BioPro News Wire (BNW). Like its predecessor, it features expert insights, issue spotlights, legislative recaps, people recognition, and more. Specifically, it summarizes activity by interest area like thermochemical/ biopower, chemical-biochemical-catalytic, pyrolysis/ biodiesel, and feedstocks.

Published 12 times a year exclusively for TAPPI members, BNW may be one of the biggest benefits that you get from TAPPI membership to help you make informed operating and investment decisions.
