15 Feb 2023 --- Chile continues to face devastating forest fires, with those still active causing further damage to the natural environment and pulp industry. It remains unclear what caused “the worst wildfires in Chile’s modern history,” with speculations toward intentional man-made fires and climate change-driven factors. While more than 600 fires have broken out over the past days, the Chilean government estimates that the outbreaks could continue until mid-March. PackagingInsights speaks to Viva Chile Packaging about the fire’s ravaging effects on the country’s pulp industry and what could be behind it. Viva Chile Packaging is a national initiative that seeks to promote innovation, technological development and creativity in the country’s containers and packaging industry.
