Sustainability
From Waste to Resource: Why We Do It
We do this to reduce waste, support sustainable land clearing, and create real value from what would otherwise be burned or dumped. By transforming wood waste into useful products like mulch, animal bedding, and biomass fuel, we help farmers, landowners, and industries work cleaner and smarter. It’s about turning a problem into a solution for the land, and for the future.


Foresta Partnership
Silvertree Biomass Solutions has secured a long-term harvesting agreement to supply over 240,000 tonnes of biomass annually — including logs, stumps, and approved material — supporting the development of a major renewable manufacturing facility in New Zealand. This contract ensures a consistent, sustainable supply of raw material while improving cost efficiency and security across the biomass supply chain. Silvertree is also committed to assisting with ongoing feedstock sourcing each year to maintain supply continuity. With over 17 years of experience in large-scale forestry and land operations, Director Chad Empson brings deep industry knowledge and a proven track record. This partnership reinforces Silvertree’s role as a leader in efficient, sustainable land use and biomass production.
