Our raw material management Made In France !

🌲 Wood is an essential element in the composition of our cartonboard: it’s our main raw material! Our wood supply is managed within the framework of sustainable forest management.

As an integrated mill, we produce our mechanical pulp on site. This pulp is made from local softwood species such as fir, spruce and douglas fir. It is made from wood chips, also known as sawmill by-products.

These chips are collected from local sawmills within an average 100 km distance of the plant, 95% of which come from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. 🚛

We also use bark, the main combustible for our biomass boiler.

This collaboration with local sawmillers and players in the wood industry has been going on for over 35 years, and is part of a circular, sustainable economy that is 100% Made In France!
