Brazil holds the mark for largest producer of bleached eucalyptus cellulose. Industrial units distributed between the northern Espírito Santo and southern Bahia states explore the area and destroyed the landscape with large areas of monoculture. Cellulose companies there have been linked to several crimes, including money laundering, fraud, corruption, tax evasion, environmental and labor crimes.

The region's companies also joined the army officers to evict traditional and indigenous communities residents who inhabited the region.

Brazil exports millions tons of cellulose and paper every year. Mostly bleached cellulose is exported to Europe, China and North America.
