Natural forests are precious assets, since they preserve the diversity of life, vegetable and animal species. Planted forests currently cover 7% of the total area of our planet and provide 50% of the raw material for industrial purposes. Eucalyptus plantations occupy 5.7 million hectares from a total of 7.83 million hectares of planted trees, according to the Brazilian Tree Industry (Indústria Brasileira de Árvores – IBÁ).
The market potential for timber and sustainable energy tends to grow in the coming years.
Paraná Wood Florestal, with appropriate integration and management, caring for the natural resources (earth, water, and nutrients) in perfect harmony with nature, operates in a scenario of low carbon emissions and renewable energies.
In Brazil, reforested areas through the planting of seedlings comply with a sustainable management plan and is a reference in the world.
Per year, the Brazilian average production of eucalyptus timber originated from such forests is of 36 cubic meters per hectare, with the country at the head of the global forest productivity ranking (IBÁ).
With fertilization, technology, and knowledge, the production of eucalyptus at Paraná Wood Florestal reaches 65 cubic meters/hectare/year. After seven years, it harvests a total of 454.4 cubic meters per hectare.
The department is responsible for the storing approximately 1.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq), in addition to generating and holding carbon reserves in the amount of 2.48 billion tons (IBÁ).
From the initial 200-hectare area, Paraná Wood Florestal currently has 1,460 hectares of own forest, with planting, management and technology used in a customized manner in each plot. Mechanized harvesting, cutting, removal and transportation to the logging company, with its own team, guarantees a self-sustainable production.
The forests at Paraná Wood receive the genetic variety Eucalyptus urugrandis, which results in log volume, with clonal eucalyptus seedlings provided from Eucapinus. A successful partnership to guarantee the quality of the products.
Paraná Wood Florestal, together with its partners, holds a humanized forest, with a high added value, generating both profit and development to the region.
Our secret – management.
Each forest area is managed according to its needs, in a daily routine and based on experiences that cannot be found in books or manuals, improving the evolution of human labor and of forests.
In a fertile land with the best quality and appropriate altitude, the handling, care and respect to the environment scale up the production.
