Wood Chips
The forests are our own, and we produce wood chips for cellulose and biomass using specific equipment with organized logistics in ports of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
Wood chips have a variety of applications and are frequently used as raw material in various industries. This production process involves the transformation of biological assets in their entirety, harnessing 100% of their potential. We believe it is our responsibility to ensure the sustainability of the products we deliver, and therefore, we can provide the required certificates to meet export demands.
This broad spectrum of uses for these assets worldwide qualifies us to export logs in various diameters and lengths, with JAS volume measurement, as well as processed wood for specific applications in the timber industry.
