Enviva Pellets - Cottondale

About Enviva Pellets - Cottondale

This is the Enviva wood pellet plant at 2500 Green Circle Parkway in Cottondale, in Jackson County. The website on file is Enviva's corporate site, and the pages read carry nothing specific to the Cottondale plant — no capacity, no local wood specifications, no plant contact and no staff. What the company does publish about the wood-buying and manufacturing side of its business is this: it mills, dries and pelletises wood-based biomass in a specialty press, the high-pressure extrusion causing the wood's own lignin to form the sheath that holds each pellet together, with the finished product 100 percent plant matter and no chemicals or GMOs used in the process. It says its product uses wood fibre predominantly from the U.S. Southeast, and that it has a deep understanding of the material it uses including type (hardwood or softwood), origin and quality specifications, testing in its own quality labs for bulk density, moisture content, durability, ash and particle-size distribution and re-tuning for the natural seasonal variability of feedstock. On where the wood comes from, it states a Responsible Sourcing Policy under which it strives not to source from old growth forests, protected forests, or forests harvested for land use conversion, and says it aims to source only from forests that will remain forests. The corporate pages date the founding of Enviva itself to 2004; that is the company, not this plant, and nothing read says when Cottondale was built or what it runs at. Landowners and loggers selling into this mill should call the plant directly rather than work from the corporate site. (source: envivabiomass.com, read 22 September 2026)
