Brazil is a global reference in the planting of trees for industrial purposes which are used to produce wood panels, laminate flooring, pulp, paper, charcoal and biomass – items that are present in our homes and our daily lives. The planted tree industry has invested in technology to 30 m FOREST-BASED turn the waste and by-products of these processes into innovative, renewable products that are essential for the development of a low-carbon economy. Many of these products are still in the research and development stage, or are being produced on an incipient scale. As investments are made in innovative technologies, the products from this industry will move out of the laboratories PRODUCTS toward new markets and different segments, providing additional benefits to society as a whole.

Combustion Smoked delicacies use a flavoring extracted from MDP/HDP burning wood during the process of charcoal making. This extract, MDF/HDF pyroligneous acid, is basically condensed smoke. Over the last Laminate flooring Sanding decade, Brazilians have Wood panels come to appreciate the Hard fiber board use of this flavor, for example in barbecue Cooling sauce.
