Trees grown for industrial purposes

Head – Irani

Trees grown for industrial purposes are a renewable and versatile source, offering a wide range of products that serve as alternatives to fossil-based materials. In addition to traditional uses like paper and furniture, they can be transformed into innovative solutions such as biodegradable plastics, medications, sustainable fabrics and even biofuels, all of which help reduce dependence on non-renewable resources and promote a more sustainable future.

At the same time, these plantations represent a strategic opportunity to strengthen the country’s bioeconomy, generating jobs, income, social and economic development while also contributing to environmental conservation.

The trees are grown using sustainable management practices. One well-established practice is the use of mosaic planting, which intersperses productive plantations with conservation areas to form ecological corridors These corridors connect the landscape, provide shelter for fauna and flora and offer many benefits for conservation of soil and water, such as regulating water flows.

The planted tree sector is real proof that it is possible to produce as well as preserve.

To reach our homes in this form, trees are planted, harvested, and replanted, often in previously degraded areas, following sustainable management plans. After harvesting, the wood is taken to factories that transform the raw material into an industrialized product—which can be cellulose, used as a raw material for various other products, or the final product, in the case of laminate flooring or wood paneling.
