This project aims to recover up to 100,000 cubic metres of residual fibre from the Lillooet Timber Supply Area that has traditionally been left on site and burned. Augmenting the transportation of uneconomic fibre increases overall fibre utilization at the Domtar Pulp mill in Kamloops, B.C. where the material will be used to make various products including fibre reinforced siding, moldings, paper, and green electricity. Recovery of this fibre results in an overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the avoidance of burning and creates additional economic opportunities.
