From meeting sustainability goals to reducing costs, the forestry, paper & packaging industry faces many challenges. Corporate leaders struggle to know where to focus for the biggest impact. 🇧🇷 Take Brazil—a country rich in forestry resources but dealing with issues like deforestation, poor soil health, and water shortages. These problems are slowing production and pushing up costs. 💡 Emerging technologies present opportunities to address these pain points. At SOSA, we’ve explored several solutions that are making a difference, including: 🔋 Biochar for soil enhancement: Reduces carbon emissions by 40%, doubles soil health and tree growth, lowers water usage by 30%, and improves pollutant filtration by 50%. 📦 Recyclable packaging barriers: These biobased and biodegradable materials replace traditional plastic coatings, leading to a 40% reduction in plastic use and a 25% improvement in recyclability rates. 🌳 Forestry automation: Utilizing digital twins, satellite monitoring, and machinery automation to reduce costs, optimize resources, and decrease environmental impact. Through our deep collaboration with top industry players, we’ve seen firsthand where the biggest gains are being made—and how the right solutions can unlock both business growth and sustainability. 👉 See what tech solutions are delivering best-in-class results in forestry, paper & packaging: https://lnkd.in/dFAyc6Xd #OpenInnovation #SOSA #CorporateInnovation #SustainableTech #Forestry #Biochar #RecyclablePackaging #PaperandPulp
