Wood Specifications

We are always increasing our hardwood raw material suppliers list and eager to explore other cellulose materials. The types and consistency of wood materials we purchase range from wood chips to shavings to sawdust and more.

The specifications are stringent and are outlined by the definition of contaminations. A contaminant is outlined as foreign material, debris, metal, rocks or stones, green material, adhesive and treatments, and material of a greater size than our specifications.

Further specifications for each plant location are detailed below.
