In an effort to increase healthy biodiversity around the facility, Domtar instituted a wildlife habitat management plan few years ago.

As business people, we have an opportunity every day to decide how we create value.

The identification of waste in terms of resources, capacity, lifecycle and embedded value that is the building block of the circular economy, must also be fully applied to water cycles.
