Sustainability at Weyerhaeuser

Did You Know?

We use 97 percent of each log in our North American operations.

How can large water balloons in boxes fight fires? Weyerhaeuser and its partners have found a way to launch just that from airplanes. The Precision Container Aerial Delivery System—water-filled plastic bladder inside a wrapper of our stout Tri-Wall™ material—can be loaded aboard a cargo plane and flown over a forest fire. When the container drops, 2,000 pounds of water or fire retardant cascades out onto the flames.

We're working toward this future every day: Researching and developing clean-burning transportation fuel made from cellulose fibers. Committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Delivering distinctive products to market. Focusing on a safe, inclusive workplace for all employees. And managing our environmental impact to reduce our footprint on the Earth.
