To showcase eucalyptus fluff at Index 20 in Geneva

Suzano, the world’s leading eucalyptus pulp producer and one of Latin America’s largest companies, will showcase its new innovative fluff pulp, Eucafluff, for the first time at Index 20 in Geneva on October 19 to 20.

Suzano believes in the power of eucalyptus and innovation to provide solutions to the environment’s great challenges. It is within this context that it developed Eucafluff: the world’s first 100 per cent eucalyptus fluff, a renewable raw material with a lower carbon footprint than most equivalent pine fluff-based products which simultaneously provides consumers with efficient and high-quality products.

Currently, 75 per cent of Eucafluff’s sales are overseas, in which 70 per cent are sold in Asia, including in major markets like China and Japan. Eucafluff has been adopted by leading companies in the global market producing hygiene products for millions of people.

Eucafluff is the result of nearly 15 years of R&D combining Suzano’s expertise in both innovation and sustainability (known as innovability), which it employs across all areas of the business.

As well as being more sustainable, Eucafluff outperforms competitors when it comes to rewetting, net retention and comfort due to the unique morphology of Suzano’s eucalyptus hardwood, which is smaller, thinner and highly compressible.

Eucafluff is made from eucalyptus trees planted on sustainably managed farms across Brazil.
