🌲♻️ Turning wood waste into opportunity!
What might look like an ordinary pile of wood fibre represents an important opportunity to make better use of our forest resources. 🌿
Through funding from the Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC), Mercer Celgar in Castlegar has supported the recovery of wood fibre that might otherwise be left behind or burned in slash piles. 🪵
🏭 Mercer Celgar is a local pulp mill that transforms wood fibre into pulp used to manufacture everyday products like paper, tissue and packaging. The mill also uses wood byproducts to generate renewable energy, demonstrating how different parts of a tree can serve different purposes.
🚛 By helping make the collection and transportation of this material more economically feasible, the program allows valuable fibre to be put to use in pulp production instead of going to waste.
🌱We also find value in the byproducts of our operations, selling materials for landscaping and other practical uses. From wood fibre destined for pulp production to materials that find new life in gardens and landscapes, it's all part of making the most of our resources.
🤝 Through partnerships, innovative practices and a commitment to reducing waste, we're helping ensure more of every harvested tree is put to good use.
