Italy has not an important forest heritage but has an important tradition in poplar plantations and has improved important experience and research technology in the development of poplar essence.
 

 
Thanks to the Institute of poplar cultivation (CRA), to the private tree nurseries and to the Wood Industry, the Italian poplar is well known and appreciated all over the world.
 

 
Sicem Saga utilizes rejects of poplar wood, debarked, coming from the several saw mills and plywood mills located in northern Italy and poplar logs.
All the poplar utilized by the wood industry in Italy comes from plantations.
The purchasing department also buys poplar woods that are then cut, debarked and sometimes also sold to others. Since a few years Sicem Saga provides, with a vast organization, over one hundred large chests in order to withdraw from mills, supermarkets and fruit markets used pallets and wood packaging boxes. These rejects are called post consumer wood.
 

 
All the virgin wood suppliers must notify the origin of the wood and must guarantee the respect of all forest laws and procedures.
The wood can be received by truck, railway (Canossa train station) and ship through the La Spezia Harbor.
The annual consumption is roughly 300.000 cubic metre.
