Moving Product Efficiently Around the Globe
As the 23rd largest U.S. exporter by container volume and a member of the U.S. EPA’s Smartway program, Domtar ensures that at any point across our logistics chain we are using the most optimal mix of modes of transportation available to contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions.
In any given year, we ship approximately 6 million tons of pulp and paper to customers across North America and overseas. To achieve this, we operate an efficient distribution network using third-party truck, rail, intermodal and ocean vessel transport providers. Our aim is to serve our customers using an optimal mix of transportation modes to be cost-effective as well as to reduce our emissions.
We actively support and promote collaboration between stakeholders to improve transportation efficiency through the expansion of ports and intermodal terminals, and to encourage our third-party providers to implement their own innovative sustainable transportation solutions today and in the future.
In addition to finding the most efficient route from point A to B, we optimize our routes with proactive production planning to reduce the number of shipments and minimize any empty miles.
