WOOD PULP

Wood Pulp: The Classic Fiber Foundation for Quality Tissue and Paper Products

Wood pulp fibers yield very soft, smooth tissue products, highly appreciated in facial tissues and toilet papers.

The long fibers from softwood species provide durability and resilience, particularly important for paper towels and napkins.

Suitable for diverse product ranges from premium facial tissues to industrial paper towels.

Well-developed forestry and processing infrastructure ensures reliable and scalable production.

The free updates that will be provided is based on the roadmap that we have laid out for this project. It is also possible that we will provide extra updates outside of the roadmap as well.

Increasingly sourced from certified forests with sustainable management practices (FSC, PEFC).

Trees used for pulp typically mature in 20-50 years, depending on species and forestry practices.

Softwood fibers can range from 3 to 5 mm in length, offering strength; hardwood fibers are shorter, around 0.5 to 2 mm, contributing to softness.

Wood pulp production is water- and chemical-intensive, though modern mills employ advanced treatment and recycling technologies.

Forests used for pulpwood sequester significant amounts of CO₂, though carbon payback depends on forestry practices.

Many pulp suppliers adhere to FSC or PEFC standards ensuring responsible forestry and ecosystem protection.

Wood pulp remains a cornerstone raw material in tissue and paper manufacturing because of its excellent fiber qualities and reliable supply. Its long fibers provide strength essential for products like paper towels and napkins, while hardwood fibers add softness and smoothness for toilet paper and facial tissues.

Sustainability efforts continue to evolve in the forestry sector, with an increasing focus on responsible harvesting and certification to minimize environmental impacts. For manufacturers and consumers valuing proven performance and soft, comfortable products, wood pulp remains an indispensable resource.
