Walter Lidio Nunes, President of Celulose Riograndense, on May 4 said, “Yesterday we gave the start on Line 2, triggering the processing of the first eucalyptus logs which should result in pulp bales ready for export in about three days.”
According to the company, pulp production from the new Line 2 this year should be 860,000 tonnes, which, when combined with the current production of Line 1, will result in 1.31 million tons in 2015 from the Guaiba pulp mill.
