SUSTAINABLE WOOD
We are are using only wood that comes from sustainably managed forests.
Hardwood Sustainability
Supplies of certified slow growing tropical hardwoods suitable for outdoor use are becoming increasingly limited, resulting in illegal logging which, in turn, leads to the deforestation of tropical rainforests.
Conversely, in temperate regions such as in Europe the net forest area has been increasing steadily for several decades, thanks to faster growing species of trees and responsible forest management.
Tropical hardwoods take many decades to mature, and some are not suitable for logging for well over 100 years. With a service life of only a few decades once manufactured into finished products, it’s clear that this cannot be a very sustainable approach to preserving the world’s tropical rainforests.
