Bioextractives & Biomaterials

Wood extractives and materials are biodegradable and carbon friendly. They are used as alternatives to petroleum-based products.

Utilizing Our Resources and Expertise

The world is transitioning away from the dependence on fossil fuel-based products towards the incorporation of the infinite possibilities offered by bio-based products. This will require the replacement of non-renewable materials such as chemicals, plastics, and fossil fuels. We believe that long-term, sustainable wood resources will have an important role to play in this evolution. Wood extractives are biodegradable, carbon-friendly, and generally not recyclable. Wood contains many of the building block chemicals that are found in fossil fuels. We believe that bioextractives will become an increasingly important alternative to petroleum-based fuels, aromatics, food additives, fragrances, and medicinal applications.

We believe that Mercer is well-positioned to leverage our experience and expertise in our aim for the full utilization of our raw material inputs, and in recent years have been expanding our product mix to include bioextractives and biomaterials. We are engaged in a number of initiatives focused on developing innovative, new products including derivatives from our kraft pulping process, as well as stand-alone extractive facilities.
