Forestry services
Customer driven solutions to help companies manage their environmental challengesFor more than 20 years, AMEC has provided full- service environmental, geotechnical, materials engineering, and analytical laboratory services to the forest products industry, including pulp and paper and the solid wood manufacturing sectors.
Because of our experience, we understand the challenges you face and your priorities in managing your environmental issues. AMEC provides services that help you overcome those challenges and match your priorities.
Regulatory and Issue Watchdogs
AMEC staff has tracked the Cluster Rule, the Great Lakes Initiative, and proposed state, provincial, and federal government regulatory changes on your behalf. We’ve prepared comments and testified for NCASI, AF&PA and other associations and individual companies on issues such as dioxin and mercury. As regulations are proposed, debated, and implemented, AMEC is with you and reports back on how these changes affect your ability to comply.
Balanced Studies
AMEC has developed methods to help paper companies balance resources without compromising profitability. Our philosophy is to bring a risk-based approach to all our services, so your actions are based on sound risk management strategies.
