Shell PANOLIN Biodegradable Products for Forestry Applications

Exploring Sustainable Production Methods in Forestry

By 2050, the growing global population is expected to quadruple wood demand, and rising global prosperity will further increase the demand for sustainable construction materials, wood, paper-based products, packaging materials, and biomass for energy.

Meeting this continuously increasing demand requires higher productivity through more efficient and responsible operations. Lubricants play a key role in keeping forestry machinery running efficiently.

Key Challenges in the Forestry Sector

• The need to optimize efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership while minimizing environmental impact.
• Responsibility to protect sensitive ecosystems and prevent soil, water, and air pollution.
• The need to comply with evolving standards and regulations.
• Maintaining equipment availability during critical planting and harvesting seasons.

No two customers are the same. However, across all industries and regions, our customers report similar challenges:

• The need to reduce costs wherever possible.
• The need to extend equipment life and reduce total cost of ownership.
• The need to minimize downtime.

In an environment of constant change, evolving technologies, and limited in-house technical expertise, addressing all of the above becomes increasingly challenging.
