Woodpulp

Description
Vegetable matter reduced to pulp.
Shipped in pressed bales either dry or wet and used for paper products. Bales of woodpulp may distend up to 50% of their volume which can cause bowing of the container.
Stow in a clean dry container and avoid contamination from other cargoes which could result in a loss in value. It is recommended to use dunnage under the bales for drainage and fork-truck handling. After stuffing, the bales must be covered with kraft paper to prevent contamination.
See BC Code for wood-pulp in bulk.
