Lyptus

Lyptus trees can be harvested for lumber in approximately 15 years, much sooner than woods from cooler climates.

Fibria forests total 1.3 million hectares, of which 461,000 hectares are native reserves dedicated to environmental protection, in six Brazilian States: Espírito Santo, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul.

As a plantation grown wood, use of Lyptus does not deplete old growth forests, which are regarded as valuable havens for biodiversity.

Lyptus's fast growth rate ensures that supply stays high, and keeps costs low.
