MOGI GUACU, Brazil – Sylvamo, the world’s paper company, served as the presenting sponsor for Expoforest, the largest dynamic forestry fair in the world, Aug. 9-11, on more than 494 acres (or 200 hectares) of Sylvamo-owned forestland in Guatapara, about 130 miles northwest of Mogi Guacu.
The company also participated as an exhibitor, generating visibility to the forest products industry that represents 4% of Brazil's gross domestic product.
“We know the importance of this event for the entire pulp and paper industry, from plantations to manufacturing and the final product, which reaches homes of consumers across the country,” said Tatiana Kalman, senior vice president and general manager, Latin America. “The visibility of Expoforest allows Sylvamo to present projects and the positive impacts eucalyptus plantations have on the environment and communities.”
Sylvamo’s booth educated visitors on the papermaking process, sustainable forestry and two of the world’s most iconic paper brands, Chamex and Chamequinho. The company’s 2030 goals and Chamex Institute were also on display.
