The cultivated tree sector consistently invests in technology and innovation to develop bioproducts from different parts of the tree like the wood, leaves and bark. As a result, it has been able to offer innovative solutions for consumers who are concerned with global sustainability. These alternatives use sustainably-produced raw materials from renewable sources that store carbon and are for the most part biodegradable and recyclable.
Besides their productive functions, planted trees play an important role in providing environmental services: they avoid deforestation of natural habitats and protect biodiversity, preserve the soil and river sources, recover degraded areas, serve as sources of renewable energy and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, since they naturally store carbon.
Combining innovation and sustainability, planted trees provide solutions that reinvent consumption and promote a more responsible future for the planet.
The Brazilian planted tree industry uses trees as modern and sustainable biorefineries, transforming them into thousands of bioproducts that are part of our daily lives. The applications are diverse, ranging from well-known items like notebooks, pencils, diapers, paper, surgical masks, cardboard boxes, wooden furniture, laminate flooring and toilet paper to new products that are just coming onto the market or are still in the development phase. These products serve a variety of sectors, such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, electronics, food and even automotive.
