Cellulose (Pulp)

The exclusive chemical process incorporated into the Company’s cellulose production allows a single cellulose plant to be able to produce many different types of cellulose. We also have the previously unheard of flexibility to create cellulose without the necessity of purchasing wood chips of specific size and thickness. In traditional pulp mills the size and thickness of the wood chip is directly related to the quality and value of the pulp.

The Company’s process creates high quality cellulose using sawdust or other significantly less expensive smaller wood chips, including trees killed by pine beetles.

Wood chips are not the only raw material that can be used to make cellulose. Successful tests have proven a wide variety of plant material will produce quality cellulose. At the Company’s Durango plant, PLET mixed sawdust from local mills with sugarcane husks (left over after sugar has been processed) to produce quality cellulose. Besides capitalizing on waste materials, this technology allows the industry to look to quicker and less expensive renewable resources for raw material. Sugarcane, hemp, wheat or other grains can now be used to create quality cellulose thus reducing the industry’s reliance on trees.
