Energy Conservation - Using Responsible Processes

The forest products industry leads all other manufacturing sectors in onsite electricity generation, meeting more than half of its own energy needs through highly efficient co generation processes using biomass fuels derived from wood waste products. By recycling these wood waste products into a renewable energy source, the forest products industry improves the environment by diverting waste from landfills, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions by substituting renewable biomass carbon for carbon from fossil fuels.

DID YOU KNOW... The forest products industry nationwide has reduced its average total energy by 30 percent since 1972.

DID YOU KNOW... Chipped wood and other waste materials provide 56 percent of the energy used by paper manufacturers nationwide.
