FY 2025-26 · 2025-04-01
Summary
With the recent closure/idling of two significant pulp mills, which produced for major woodchip consumers in Ontario, investments in reducing by-products, such as woodchips, are at a premium within the forestry industry.
This project is the research and development phase to optimize the slashing operation in the wood room, aiming to increase yield FBM/m3 (foot board measure per cubic meter) and reduce the by-product generated per output FBM produced.

Description
With the recent closure/idling of two significant pulp mills, which produced for major woodchip consumers in Ontario, investments in reducing by-products, such as woodchips, are at a premium within the forestry industry.
This project is the research and development phase to optimize the slashing operation in the wood room, aiming to increase yield FBM/m3 (foot board measure per cubic meter) and reduce the by-product generated per output FBM produced.
Description (French)
Avec la fermeture récente de deux importantes usines de pâte à papier qui produisaient pour les principaux consommateurs de copeaux de bois en Ontario, les investissements visant à réduire les sous-produits, tels que les copeaux de bois, sont très importants dans l’industrie forestière. Ce projet en est à la phase de recherche et développement visant à optimiser l’opération de coupe dans la salle de bois, dans le but d’augmenter le rendement FBM/m3 (mesure de planche par mètre cube) et de réduire le sous-produit généré par la production FBM produite.
