Adhoc: The decision has been made: Lenzing joint venture to build dissolving pulp plant in Brazil-4

March 11, 2020

Strong focus on sustainability

In planning the new production facility, particular importance was given to sustainability aspects. The joint venture secured FSC®-certified plantations1 covering an area of over 44,000 hectares to provide the necessary biomass.

 These plantations operate completely in accordance with the guidelines and high standards of the Lenzing Group for sourcing wood and pulp. 

The plant will operate among the highest productive and energy-efficient in the world and will feed the 40 percent of excess bioelectricity generated on site as “green energy” into the public grid.

 With this project, Lenzing sets a milestone in its strategy to carbon neutrality.
