Pulp and Paper
Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, providing rigidity to plants. Industrially, it is processed for the production of paper and fibers. To ensure the availability of raw materials, many planted forests are cultivated specifically for use in paper production.

In Brazil, this segment demonstrates high market efficiency, and its strong competitiveness is primarily explained by favorable edaphoclimatic conditions (climate, topography, lithology, temperature, air humidity, radiation, soil type, wind, atmospheric composition, and rainfall), investment in planted forests, and ongoing research over the years.
Cellulose is used in the production of numerous products, such as:
- Paper production
- Textiles
- Tablets
- Stabilizers for processed foods
- Adhesives
- Biofuels
- Construction materials, among others.
