Kafus Industries Ltd.
 PROFILE
Kafus Industries can't see the forest for the tree huggers, which is OK since it makes panel board and other commodity materials from so-called green products. Through its subsidiaries, development-stage Kafus has entered production on a number of fronts: CanFibre makes a medium density fiberboard out of waste wood; Kenaf Industries is building a newsprint mill that uses kenaf (hibiscus) instead of wood pulp. Another unit makes natural fiber panel products for car interiors, and one develops organic fertilizers from poultry and hog manures. Jointly, Kafus and Temple-Inland make fiber-cement siding and flooring products. Founder and former Chairman Kenneth Swaisland is the company's largest shareholder.
