To manufacture its products, John Lewis Industries uses exclusively Eastern Canadian White Birch primary because of its color, rigidity and its neutrality of smell and taste.

Forest Management

John Lewis Industries manages its forestry resources responsibly by adapting its harvesting methods to the characteristics of each area and ensuring replanting of trees after harvest.

We impose on ourselves strict adherence to the principle of exploitation on a sustained yield basis thus ensuring our permanent presence in La Tuque.

FULL UTILISATION OF THE RAW MATERIAL

John Lewis Industries uses all the residues of the logs brought to the plant.

As an example bark is used as a fuel to generate steam for plant operations.
