I am sure that under his leadership, the Division will grow and diversify in order to reflect the global importance of the recovered paper industry. I am very much looking forward to working with him within the BIR Executive Committee.”
Mr Bird also thanked Mr Jean-Luc Petithuguenin of Paprec Recyclage for his excellent services as President of the BIR Paper Division during his two mandates and for his continuous support to BIR in the past difficult period.
