Agreement signed on June 8 foresees gradual transition from legally deforested wood to renewable sources, with environmental and productive goals

Mato Grosso took a strategic step to reorganize the forest supply for the industry. On Monday, June 8, the State Government and the State Public Prosecutor’s Office signed an Environmental Commitment Term.

The signing established the Forest Development Plan of Mato Grosso. The measure seeks to ensure sustainable raw materials for the industrial sector.

The agreement sets long-term goals. By 2040, the State intends to expand the planted forests to more than 700,000 hectares. In the same period, sustainable forest management should reach at least 6.5 million hectares.

Transition changes the origin of raw materials used by the industry

The Government of Mato Grosso reported that the plan creates a gradual transition in the use of biomass. The industry will have to reduce its dependence on wood from legally deforested areas.

The supply will start to prioritize renewable sources. Among them are eucalyptus and teak plantations.

The State Department of Environment states that the proposal progressively replaces wood from authorized suppression. The industrial sector, in this way, gains greater environmental and productive predictability.

Schedule foresees complete change starting from 2034

The schedule defined in the term determines a progressive substitution for large biomass consumers.

From 2034, industrial supply should occur entirely through planted forests, sustainable forest management, and other renewable sources.

The change aims to reduce pressure on native areas and increase the regular supply of forest raw materials.

Plan also foresees traceability, audits, and transparency

The agreement includes control instruments to monitor the origin of the biomass used by industries.

The points provided include:

traceability of forest raw materials;
permanent monitoring of Sustainable Supply Plans;
independent audits;
greater transparency of environmental information.

These mechanisms reinforce the oversight of the compliance with established goals. The plan also increases the transparency of environmental information.

Government and MPE advocate for sustainable supply

The Government of Mato Grosso assesses that the agreement represents an opportunity for sustainable economic development. The state management also highlights the encouragement of reforestation and the security for industrial growth.

The State Public Prosecutor’s Office considers that the term creates a path to expand forest production in the State.

The plan seeks to reconcile productive expansion, regularity in biomass supply, and environmental commitment until 2040.
