BillerudKorsnäs is impacted by shortage of pulpwood due to wet and mild winter
Wet and mild weather in the fall and early winter has led to a shortage of pulpwood in late 2017 and early 2018.The root cause of the shortage of pulp wood is the unusually wet and mild start of the winter. Normal winters the ground freezes which allows for efficient forestry. At present, forestry machines cannot be used in the forests in certain areas. In addition, the possibility of driving on the forest road network is limited in some areas, which also reduces the flow of wood. The situation is the same in the Nordic countries, western Russia and the three Baltic states.
