Yes, all pine foresters can afford to silviculturally thin their forest estates, on time, so they produce larger, more valuable sawlogs in the future.

The pulplog and residues go into making cardboard to protect valuable products in their journey to customers, reducing damage and waste.

And as a bonus, it reduces the mega fire risk of the forests.

A win for forests and animals, a win for the customer, a win for employees, a win for investors, thank you Mr Pratt.

One of the best industries in the world. I deeply root for them and hope that they can defeat plastic in all of its evil forms. I already see cardboard water bottles in stores, hopefully beer etc is next. Paper is truly incredible stuff.
