Paving the way in sustainability
Our debarking machines are designed to completely remove bark from the logs, which means they are insect free and able to be loaded as deck cargo without harsh chemicals. Debarking is much better for the environment and most of our bark is re-used as quality garden mulch.
Eastland Debarking
Kaiti Beach Road, Gisborne.
A joint venture established in late 2008 between Eastland Port and Hikurangi Forest Farms, Eastland Debarking has gone from strength to strength and now handles most of the quality logs harvested on the East Coast.
Extending the life of the log
Removing the bark also allows for more logs to be loaded onto each ship. We can provide an anti-sap stain treatment if required which prevents the growth of sap stain, mould, and decay fungi, and it keeps the wood at it’s best for high value export markets.
