Bracell is a global leader in the production of dissolving wood pulp, including specialty cellulose.
While we are in the forestry business, what we do is perhaps better described as ‘tree farming’. That’s because our harvesting cycle happens every five to six years in a natural, 100% renewable resource: Sustainably-produced eucalyptus.
Bracell produces two basic types of specialty cellulose: rayon grades and specialty grades. Following the acquisition of a mill in Lencois Paulista in 2018, we also produce kraft pulp.
