According to Steel Dyanmics, "SDI Biocarbon Solutions (SBS) is sourcing at-scale, low‑quality pulpwood from certified or non-controversial sources, including thinnings and fiber that are unsuitable for higher‑value products. Thinnings are harvested as a necessary part of routine forests management, and pulpwood is the top section of a tree that is unsuitable for lumber. With forest growth exceeding removals in regions like Mississippi, SBS helps strengthen markets for underutilized fiber without competing with higher‑value uses or driving deforestation. Furthermore, SBS is pursuing third party certification to the global chain of custody standard Programme for the Endorsement of Forest (PEFC), to further guarantee all input material is sustainably sourced."
