SUSTAINABILITY

Plantation Pine Products are committed to creating a renewable resource, in an eco-friendly, and sustainable environment. It is an intrinsic part of the way the business operates, and decisions are based on minimising the impact on the environment.

Sustainable forestry management is practiced with a commitment to looking after the land, waterways, animals and plants, in and around owned or managed plantations, and where harvesting operations are being executed.

Plantation Pine Products purchases sawmill residues including sawdust and wood chips for remanufacture into animal bedding, landscape supplies and production of new particleboard. With the aim to produce new products from old resources and return them to the market, diverting more waste from landfill. Plantation Pine Products is encouraging effective efficient waste management processing, and advocating resource recovery.

The team at Plantation Pine Products are passionate about promoting the natural advantages of wood and its positive contribution to reducing the effects of climate change.

Unlike other mainstream materials, wood and wood products are managed for planting, growing and harvesting, with in single-species or mixed species forest and plantations. This process leads to a range of advantages including reducing the resource depletion of our plant, increasing the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere, which is stored in wood as carbon, and lowering the environment impact of construction through lower embodied energy.
