Tree Bark

Tree Bark – A Natural Raw Material with Unlimited Potential

Bark is the outer layer of a tree’s trunk and branches – its biological “armor.”
For the wood industry, however, it’s far more than just waste – it’s a high-quality material that, once properly processed, becomes a versatile product for horticulture.

How is our bark produced?

Separation at the sawmill
During log peeling, automatic blades strip the bark from the wood. This keeps the timber clean, while the bark is collected directly for further processing.

Shredding and grading
Knife chippers cut the bark ribbons into chips of various sizes.

Ready for loading
The processed bark is transported to the storage yard, where it awaits shipment.

Where is bark used?

• Horticulture and landscaping – Bark forms an aesthetic, natural mulch that suppresses weeds, stabilizes soil moisture, and protects roots from frost.
• Substrate production – A key ingredient in growing media for orchids, blueberries, and acid-loving plants.
• Recreational surfaces – Coarse bark fractions provide cushioning for playgrounds, running paths, and rope parks.
• Bioenergy – Dry bark has a calorific value of up to 16 MJ/kg, making it ideal for co-firing in industrial boilers and district heating plants.
