AF&PA Response to Increased Consumer Demand for Tissue Products

In mid-March, American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) President and CEO Heidi Brock issued a statement regarding consumer demand for tissue products. In part, it read:

“American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) members are committed to the safety of our workforce and our end-users. This situation is highly dynamic and changing daily, and the industry is working diligently to respond to the spike in demand for tissue products due to coronavirus (COVID-19) purchases. Rest assured, tissue products continue to be produced and shipped – just as they are 52 weeks each year as part of a global market.

“AF&PA members operate a safe and highly automated process to create and maintain tissue supply, and the paper and wood products industry remains committed to providing customers and businesses worldwide with these essential, everyday products.”
