Still have questions?Listen to what market experts and Suzano have to say abou tour hardwood fluff extracted from Eucalyptus.
Embrace Innovability with
Eucafluff
Suzano believes that innovation must be at the service of sustainability, and it is within this context that we created Eucafluff: the world’s first eucalyptus fluff. A renewable-source raw material with a smaller carbon footprint, while simultaneously providing end consumers with a more efficient product that offers greater well-being. Renew your outlook. Renew your choices. Plant the future. Choose Eucafluff.
Discover why Eucafluff is the best option
More softness and flexibility: thinner, more discreet and comfortable products
Improvement in rewetting readings: dry skin
Better liquid distribution: fewer leaks
Greater absorption capacity: the product can be used for longer
Eucafluff: better rewet results
Why do diapers, feminine pads, and incontinence products produced with Eucafluff perform better in rewetting readings? This advantage exists thanks to the unique morphology of our eucalyptus hardwood, which, because it is smaller and thinner, results in the production of softer panels with more filaments per gram and lower mass than softwood fluff. Because the spaces between the fibers in Eucafluff pads are smaller, there is more retention of the absorbed liquid, thus ensuring that the consumer’s skin stays dry for much longer.
Eucafluff: more flexibility and softness
Eucalyptus hardwood is smaller and softer than pine, allowing for producing thinner, softer and more flexible cores. In other words, Eucafluff offers more comfort and discretion for the end-consumer.
Eucafluff: greater compaction, lower cost
Because it offers greater compressibility power, the use of Eucafluff improves the core’s embossment pattern and reduces its volume. This makes it possible to reduce the packaging size, decreasing plastic consumption as well as lowering the costs of packaging, transportation and storage for the industry.

Eucafluff: absorbs more liquid and reduces the chances of leaks
Lab testing has shown that, because it has shorter fibers and thinner walls that softwood fluff, Eucafluff promotes better liquid distribution on the absorbent core, increasing its total volume capacity, reducing the occurrence of leaks and boosting SAP action.
Eucafluff® is designed for disposable absorbent products
Eucafluff is an innovative product that was designed for disposable sanitary absorbent products and other personal hygiene items. Everything to bring end consumers more quality, comfort and well-being. In addition, it is a sustainable solution that comes from a renewable source, with lower carbon footprint.

Dry skin, more comfort and discretion
Pet pads
Best use of the core and dry paws that don’t get the house dirty
Hospital supplies
Flexibility, softness and less rewet.
Eucafluff is part of the solution
Sustainability allied with innovation
Eucafluff was developed to offer the market a differentiated raw material with less environmental impact*.
Our Eucalyptus Fluff is extracted from plantations that follow responsible management, from the development of the seedling to harvesting of the adult tree. Our plantations are certified by the recognized certification standards PEFC® Cerflor (Brazilian Forest Certification Program) and FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council® – FSC-CO10014).
Moreover, our Eucalyptus Fluff is approved as an authorized raw material for products that bear the EU Ecolabel, adopted in the European Union community.
Smaller environmental footprint with Eucafluff
The Eucafluff lifecycle assessment, performed on a comparative basis with pine from Southeastern USA, demonstrates that our product delivers favorable results in several environmental impact categories, with lower greenhouse gas emissions, lower consumption of water and fossil fuels, and requiring less land to be used for its production*. With the high technology implemented at Suzano’s eucalyptus plantations and an expanded focus on sustainability in all production and logistics stages, today we can produce more fluff in less time, consuming fewer natural resources and reducing the environmental impact along the entire production chain.
*This study aimed to compare the environmental impact between different systems for the production of fluff pulp, using data on Fluff produced by Suzano in Brazil and Fluff produced in the Southeastern United States.
Eucafluff is part of something bigger
Suzano, which has been working to become a global reference in the manufacturing of bioproducts developed from eucalyptus cultivation, understands that its reason for existing lies in trees. It is from trees that we have come this far, and it is through them that we will build the future we want for our planet today.
Renewing life inspired by trees
This is Suzano’s purpose. This is what gives us the strength to move forward and contribute to building a more sustainable society based on renewable raw materials. Trees are part of the solution to society’s challenges, such as climate change, natural resource scarcity, biodiversity loss, and increasing social inequality.
Zero deforestation and commitment to conservation
Renewing life from trees is producing in harmony with nature, respecting ecosystems. Suzano recognizes the importance of protecting all Brazilian biomes and their rich biodiversity, which is why it does not engage in any type of native forest suppression. Our raw material comes exclusively from commercial eucalyptus plantations (planted and harvested for this purpose) and only established in areas that had already suffered human interference. Suzano’s forestry base encompasses approximately 2.3 million hectares, divided as follows:
1.35 million hectares of planted areas, sustained by the best management and cultivation practices
960,000 hectares reserved for conservation.
80% of areas certified by FSC® and PEFC/CERFLOR
Fighting climate change
Renewing life from trees is removing and storing tons of carbon so that we can be climate-positive. We have one of the largest forestry bases in the world, a valuable asset for both the company and the world. Together, our Eucalyptus plantations and conservation areas capture and store over 315 million tons of CO2. This directly contributes to the fight against climate change. Today, Suzano is already carbon-positive. In other words, we capture more carbon than we emit in our operations. We are committed to expanding this result by 2030, increasing our ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere and the benefit delivered to society.
