Very secure. Wood pellets are made from locally sourced forestry residues, including sawdust and shavings, as well as lower-grade forestry arisings generated every day by New Zealand’s timber and forestry industry. That steady by-product stream, backed by the scale of NZ forestry, provides a reliable long-term feedstock for pellet production. This is particularly so for Nature’s Flame, located in the Central North Island alongside a long-term, integrated and sustainable forestry sector. By utilising these arisings, we support the ongoing viability of the forestry sector to produce higher-grade products for local demand, such as verified structural lumber, as well as higher-value export markets, such as clear wood to the USA and Europe.
