Students from NC State University's Sustainable Composites and Biopolymers course recently visited our manufacturing facility in Moncure, NC to gain insight into the application of sustainable practices in the production of Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF).

The visit was organized by ARAUCO Continuous Improvement Manager and 2018 graduate of NC State’s Sustainable Materials and Technology (SMT) program, Nathan Honeycutt, in collaboration with course instructor Dr. Frederik Laleicke. The objective was to demonstrate to students how the concepts they are studying are practically implemented within the industry.

During the tour, students were able to ask questions and observe Arauco’s large-scale operations firsthand, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the visit fostered meaningful discussions about sustainable materials and career opportunities in the field, offering students valuable insights into the future of the industry.

A big thanks to Nathan Honeycutt and the entire Moncure team for facilitating this informative event.
