Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
From seed to shelf, J.D. Irving, Limited (JDI)’s forestry and forest products operations produce very little solid waste.

The ash is the by-product of green energy biomass boilers at three New Brunswick JDI locations: Irving Pulp & Paper in Saint John, and our sawmills - Grand Lake Timber in Chipman and Scierie Grande Rivière in Saint Leonard.
