SWEDEN (News release) -- Swedish forest industry group Södra has launched Liquid Forest™, a pioneering range of bioproducts: biomethanol, tall oil and turpentine. The Liquid Forest™ brand is a concept that offers the market and customers an opportunity to choose climate-smart products derived from sustainably-managed forests from the company's 53,000 forest-owning members in southern Sweden.
Bioproducts are the climate-smart alternative to fossil-based raw materials with the potential to play an important role in the world's transition to a circular economy. They can be used for a large variety of applications.
Södra's bioproducts are produced by the same mills which make the company's paper pulp and textile pulp, using the raw materials which the pulp process does not need. In this way, no part of the tree is wasted. The company's biomethanol plant at the Mönsterås pulp mill is the first commercial plant of its kind in the world.
Södra was founded in 1938 and is the largest forest-owner association in Sweden, with a membership of 53,000 forest owners. Södra is also an international forest industry group, with 3,100 employees around the world.
