Conversion of Legacy Pulp and Paper Assets into Next-Generation Biorefineries

planned

Ecostrat Inc. and BMI Group have launched a collaboration to leverage BDO Zone Ratings to prepare BMI's legacy pulp and paper assets across Canada for next-generation investment in the bioeconomy. The project aims to develop multi-product biorefinery platforms capable of producing biofuels, renewable chemicals, biogas, engineered wood products including mass timber, and other advanced manufacturing technologies at BMI properties. BMI Group has acquired nine former pulp and paper mill sites across Canada for repurposing into new industrial uses, with the Bioveld North project in Espanola, Ontario, as a key example.
