Abstract
From an environmental perspective New Zealand has a number of inherent advantages compared to many of the other major wood producing nations. Our production forests of softwood plantations have been purpose grown for export and therefore do not have the same constraints on access to them as do more environmentally sensitive forests in other countries. Also much of the energy used for processing of our wood resource in New Zealand is generated by hydroelectricity which is more environmentally acceptable than the fossil fuels or nuclear energy used in many other countyries. It has also been found that the fibre produced is excellent for recycling as it is more resistant to degradation in the recycling process than many other fibre types.
