There is more to Canada’s forest products
industry than wood, pulp, and paper.
Years of
intensive R&D have resulted in technologies
that can transform wood fibre into bioenergy to heat homes and operate vehicles;
bio-chemicals for solvents, renewable plastics and cosmetics; and bio-materials such
as “intelligent” paper and engineered wood
products.
In fact, Canadian wood fibre is
now being used in the development of such
diverse applications as pharmaceuticals and
aerospace.
Canada’s forest products industry can deliver
the bio-energy, bio-chemicals, and biomaterials that the world increasingly needs.
It is able to do this through a vast supply of
natural resources, the integration of traditional mills with state-of-the-art technology,
an existing infrastructure that includes an
established supply chain and transportation
network, and a record for environmental
stewardship.
