Products
Operations
The wood used in the pulp and paper production process comes from forests cultivated with socially and ecologically appropriate management, and 100% of the forest areas are certified by the FSC. In the supply of wood to the mills, 82% of certified wood was used (51% of certified own wood and 31% of certified third-party wood) and 18% of third-party controlled wood, following the certification regulations. In Paraná, 100% of our forest areas are also certified by the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) and the Company is in the process of extending this Program to other forest areas. In addition to fulfilling its needs, Klabin supplies wood logs to the furniture and construction industries.
Its signature approach to forest cultivation is mosaic planting, which combines both planted and native forests. The technique helps protect natural resources, improves the forests' production potential and collaborates with biodiversity conservation. There are 719,000 hectares of total forest area, 42% of which are conservation areas. Learn more at Challenges of forest planning.
Klabin is the only Brazilian company to produce and supply the market with three types of pulp – hardwood (from eucalyptus), softwood (extracted from pine) and fluff (specially produced from pine softwood) – in a single industrial unit, designed especially for this purpose.
Klabin is the largest manufacturer and exporter of packaging paper and paper packaging in Brazil. Produced with its own hard and softwood pulp, the paper and board meet global standards of quality and sustainability.
In 2022, the Company continued the expansion of the industrial park in Ortigueira (PR) with the construction of the MP28 paperboard machine, expected to start operating in the second quarter of 2023. The company's annual paper production capacity, which is currently 2.6 million tons, will increase to 3.1 million tons upon completion of the works and the machine's ramp-up.
As the leader in the packaging segment in Brazil, Klabin is able to provide solutions for all types of businesses, including e-commerce. Its proposal is to offer customers functional, lightweight, economical, and biodegradable products from renewable sources. The Packaging Business is also responsible for the production of recycled paper, with a processing capacity of more than 450,000 tons a year, which makes Klabin the largest paper recycler in Brazil.
