Suzano Plans to Invest in a Bio-Oil Plant
Suzano’s president, Walter Schalka, confirmed that the company’s focus remains on investing in a bio-oil plant. However, to make this and other investments, he believes it is necessary to expand the company’s forest base.
Currently, most of the raw material used by the company comes from the border with Espírito Santo. However, to improve the competitiveness of its business, the pulp and paper giant is investing approximately R$ 380 million to expand its forest base in the state. The company’s expectation is to expand the eucalyptus planting area in Espírito Santo to 20,000 hectares in the coming years.
