Our circular economy
BoreA Canada uses a circular distillation process in synergy with a biomass power plant that exchanges steam for distillation residues as fuel. We also value the branches left in windrows by the forestry industry as raw material. This model reduces GHG emissions by 60% compared to traditional methods.
In symbiosis
with nature
Authentic and sustainable source!
BoreA Canada’s innovative facilities allow for year-round operation with high production capacity. All operations are monitored, controlled, and documented, from tree to barrel. The entire process is certified by Ecocert Canada (organic) and BNQ-CEAF (environmental requirements of the Bureau de normalisation du Québec – forest management certification program).
Environmental respect, community involvement, and adherence to government laws and standards are top priorities for BoreA Canada. This eco-friendly distillation process ensures that we provide organic, authentic, unique, and superior-quality products.
