EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Simply put, timber that has been harvested in a responsible manner is considered to be sustainable. This means that when one tree is cut down in order to be used as part of your new timber feature in your home, then a new tree must be planted as a replacement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike many building materials (steel, for instance), wood does not deplete the earth of its natural resources. Because it’s a resource that more or less stands on its own, it can be grown and harvested over and over again.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wood is 100% sustainable: Even as it ages, it does not cause damage to the environment. Timber is renewable, recyclable, waste efficient, biodegradable, carbon positive and sourced from Australian grown plantations. Using timber in building construction can maximise Green Star energy ratings and carbon credits.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most sustainable furniture woods are black cherry, beech, maple, ash, eastern red cedar, mango, and bamboo. These woods are highly available thanks to large populations and wide natural ranges. Also, they are strong and dense woods, making them durable materials for all types of furniture.
