Participation Environment
1. Do you use recycle wood? Is recycle wood is eco-fiendly?
Yes, we do use recycled wood. Recycled wood is definitely eco-friendly because it helps reduce the demand for new timber, which in turn helps preserve forests. By reusing wood, we also reduce waste and prevent it from ending up in landfills. Plus, recycling wood uses less energy compared to processing virgin wood, which makes it a more sustainable option overall.
2. How you take a responsible forestry sustainability practice?
We take forest care very seriously. After cutting wood, we follow sustainable forestry practices to ensure that the ecosystem remains healthy. This includes replanting trees to replace those that are harvested, as well as monitoring the health of the forest over time. We also try to minimize damage to the surrounding environment by using selective cutting, which helps preserve biodiversity and reduce soil erosion. Additionally, we work closely with environmental experts and local communities to make sure we're adhering to all regulations and best practices for long-term forest health. We also have SLVK certification, which ensures that our forestry practices meet strict environmental and sustainability standards. This certification verifies that the wood we use comes from responsibly managed forests that prioritize biodiversity, social equity, and ecological health. It gives our customers confidence that we are committed to sustainable sourcing and forest regeneration.
