Ministry of Environment draws paper industry’s ire A Twitter post by the Ministry of Environment has not gone down well in the paper manufacturing circles. A recent twitter post by the official handle of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has drawn criticisms from the print fraternity for linking deforestation with paper manufacturing. The tweet stated: “The packaging industry requires more paper prompting the cutting of more #trees. Hence, recycling and proper utilisation of waste #paper are necessary on a large scale to avoid cutting trees. #Recycle & re-use paper scrap. #Gooddeeds (sic).” The fact that the tweet called for saving trees and linked deforestation with the paper manufacturing irked some of the industry leaders. One of the first responses came from Rohit Pandit of Indian Paper Manufacturers Association.
