Producing Sustainable Raw Materials - Traceability and Certification
Sustainable Biomass: A Key Component in the Green Transition
High-quality biomass from wood is an essential resource in the global green transition, providing a renewable energy source to replace fossil fuels. As many industries shift their energy supply from fossil fuels to biomass, the demand for sustainable and traceable biomass continues to grow. We are fully committed to supporting this transition by producing and supplying high-quality, sustainable biomass.
At the core of our operations is our strong belief in using only wood residues that are fully traceable via the central SISFLORA system in Brazil. This ensures that all our biomass is sourced responsibly, either from certified forest plantations we collaborate with or from well-managed sawmills. By adhering to these rigorous sourcing standards for sustainable biomass, our goal is to contribute to a greener future.

Certified Eucalyptus Plantations: An Essential Part of Sustainable Forestry
Commercial forestry, when managed responsibly, is one of the most effective ways to preserve natural forests. While this may seem counterintuitive, modern and efficient forestry practices, when aligned with environmental laws and nature's balance, help achieve two critical goals: 1) conserving natural forests, and 2) absorbing carbon dioxide.
The plantations we source from not only contribute to forest conservation and carbon sequestration but also, by focusing on fast-growing species like eucalyptus, produce more wood per hectare in a shorter timeframe compared to slower-growing species. Fast-growing trees like eucalyptus are highly sustainable, provided they are planted and managed with environmental responsibility.
The demand for eucalyptus is continuously increasing due to its highly versatile applications, ranging from premium paper and bioenergy to eco-friendly textiles and medicinal oils, driving innovation across multiple industries.
To responsibly contribute to the growing demand for wood raw materials and green products, it is natural for us to only work with FSC-certified plantations (Forest Stewardship Council), ensuring that biodiversity is preserved, waterways and soil are protected, and the negative impacts on local communities are minimized.
