Tree Farming: Processing trees in a cellulose factory

The video explores the timber processing industry, highlighting the use of tree trunks for construction and cellulose production. It emphasizes the environmental benefits of modern cellulose production methods, which avoid chlorine gas and utilize lignin for energy. The video also discusses an innovative approach to environmental remediation using genetically modified poplar trees to absorb heavy metals. Finally, it covers sustainable practices in the wood industry, focusing on responsible forest management and conservation efforts.
