The renewable raw material
Forests produce more than timber.
Wood is one of the world's most versatile renewable raw materials.
Today, forests supply construction materials, packaging, paper, pulp and energy.
Tomorrow, wood-based fibres and biochemicals may increasingly form the basis for materials traditionally produced from fossil resources.
Buildings. Packaging. Textiles. Chemicals. Fuels. Advanced materials.
Different parts of the tree serve different markets — from structural timber and engineered wood to pulp, fibres and industrial by-products.
From forest to everyday materials
Construction
Timber and engineered wood provide renewable building materials for homes, commercial buildings and infrastructure.Packaging
Wood fibre is the foundation of paper and board packaging and can replace fossil-based materials in selected applications.
Fibres & textiles
Cellulose derived from wood is already used in textile fibres and continues to be developed for new material applications.
Biochemicals & future materials
Components found naturally in wood — including cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin
can be refined into chemicals, composites and new bio-based materials.
Energy
Residual streams from forestry and wood processing can be used for heat,
electricity and renewable fuels, allowing more of the harvested tree to create value.
One resource.
Multiple end markets.
A forest is not dependent on a single product.
As trees grow, they continuously produce biological raw material. At harvest, different qualities and parts of the tree can enter different value chains — from high-value sawlogs to pulpwood and industrial residual streams.
This diversified demand is one of the characteristics that makes productive forestland a distinctive real asset.
And the resource grows while we own it.
Forestfund invests in productive forest assets across the Nordic-Baltic region.
Our objective is simple: acquire well, manage actively and develop forests that can continue producing valuable renewable raw material for decades to come.
We invest in the resource behind tomorrow's materials.
