CMPC, the biggest worldwide pulp and paper company with 54 industrial plants across 9 countries, is seeking innovative solutions to measure moisture and density for trees, logs, chips and biomass in the new Understanding Our Trees Challenge in partnership with Foresight Canada.

Understanding the moisture content of trees and logs allows pulp and paper manufacturers like CMPC to make better decisions about wood supply, from forests to mills. Improving moisture and density measurement capabilities will further refine CMPC’s harvesting and transport operations, which are key to a more efficient and sustainable pulp and paper manufacturing process. 

Successful solutions should:

• Accurately measure moisture with less than 5% error

• Reduce log rejections in wood mills

• Reduce CO2e emissions during log transportation

• Be cost competitive and scalable across CMPC productions

• Mobile for use in forest environments

• Resistant to various climate conditions

• Capable or data connectivity through cloud-based systems
