Mackenzie Increased Fiber Utilization

This project involved utilization of residual waste fibre by the the East Fraser Chipping plant in Mackenzie, B.C. and further distribution to other secondary fibre users in the North Central Interior. East Fraser Fiber is an independent, whole log chipping plant which has been supplying wood chips to pulp mills for decades. This project maintained much needed jobs in Mackenzie and helped to avoid pile burning emissions as well as improved fibre utilization from existing cutting permits outside the current economic reach for low grade fibre. The avoidance of pile burning resulted in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and contributed to the achievement of B.C.'s and Canada's climate change targets.
