45 Min Inquiry

Where did I come from?


The logs come from all around New Zealand and can be imported from other countries, which C3 (a logging company) has been doing for 50 years. C3 sort through 23million logs per year and produce 300,000 tonnes of wood chips per year as well. C3 mainly gather pine wood and each and every one will be recorded.

Some background information:
C3 started its well known company in Tauranga and its first overseas export was to china with 158 tonnes of logs. With tauranga having its own logging ground it earns 14% profit of all money made in Tauranga. Before the Europeans came to Nz it was 80% forestry and when you order a tree you must plant 3 more to repopulate what you have taken.

Where are they taking me?
Once logs have been gathered they will go through to other countries needing or be turned into planks to build houses and other buildings. They will go in and be cut up into wood chips as fertilizer or paper/cardboard or chip wood
