Sustainability

Towards a Fossil Free Chemical Industry

The traditional petrochemical industry is responsible for an estimated 923 million tons of CO2 last year, making it the third-largest source of global CO2 emissions that year.

Leaf Resources is decarbonising the chemical industry with carbon-efficient and cost-effective chemicals of the highest quality; sourced from renewable pine tree feedstock with no unnatural chemicals.

Our vision is to help transform the chemical sector with our aspirational goal of achieving a fossil-free chemical industry.

Sourced from FSC Forests

We use only sustainable renewable FSC certified plantation forests that are farmed on a 30 year cycle. This means for every tree that we use, another one is planted.

Circular Manufacturing

Our waste products are water and spent wood. The water goes into irrigating our farm and the waste wood can go into making wood pellets that replace coal in heating and power generation plants.

No Waste

We use parts of the tree, such as stumps which would normally be considered a waste product/low value wood. Stump harvesting improves the productivity of the land as it encourages reforestation.

No Petrochemical

For every 1kg of product we produce, that’s 1kg of petroleum products that doesn't get pumped out of the ground. Our products directly replace petrochemical sourced products in the marketplace.

Natural Manufacturing

We extract pine chemicals using only low heat, low pressure, water, steam and a natural organic solvent. We don’t use any petrochemicals in the extraction process resulting in clean pine rosin and turpenes.

Carbon Footprint

To further reduce the carbon footprint associated with the supply chain, our facilities are located in areas that minimize transportation from forest to plant to port. We operate in the most attractive wood fiber regions in AU.
