What are wood chips used for?

Wood chips are used in multiple industries including pulp and paper manufacturing, biomass energy production, MDF and particleboard manufacturing, landscape mulching, and as a renewable energy fuel source for power plants and industrial boilers.

What is biomass fuel?

Biomass fuel is organic material derived from plants and trees that can be burned to generate heat and electricity. Wood chips from sustainably managed plantations are a leading source of biomass fuel used in power plants across Asia and Europe.

How does the export process work?

PT. Hasian Bersama Sejahtera exports wood chips via container (partnering with Sinokor & TS Line) or mother vessels for bulk cargo (partnering with Alphaeva Corporation Pte, Ltd Singapore). We handle all logistics from processing facilities in Lampung, Sumatra and Banten, Java.

What wood species do you supply?

We supply Acacia (Acacia mangium), Eucalyptus, Rubber wood, and various Hard Wood species. Species selection depends on end-use application — pulp mills typically require Acacia and Eucalyptus while biomass customers accept a broader range.

What certifications does PT. Hasian Bersama Sejahtera have?

We maintain rigorous quality standards compliant with international buyer requirements. Our operations follow sustainable plantation management practices and we can provide quality certificates and lab analysis reports for all shipments.
