Teak, merbau, Sapele... These most common wood species are the result of the destruction of the original rainforest, and are so widely used in everyday homes, such as floors, furniture, doors and windows, etc...
The following text mainly refers to the "Good Wood, Good Home, Green Wood Purchase Guide" - the knowledge manual issued by Greenpeace GREENPEACE International Environmental Protection Organization. When I first saw this manual, I first knew myself.
In the Green Wood Purchase Guide, the wood species is divided into four levels, namely “recommended purchaseâ€, “acceptableâ€, “should avoid purchaseâ€, and “catastrophicâ€.
1. Recommended for purchase - FSC certified wood products. FSC is a globally recognized forestry certification system that demonstrates that raw material sources and processes are responsible for the environment and ecology, ensuring the sustainable use of forest resources.
2. Acceptable - from secondary forests and well-managed plantations.
3. Avoid buying – possibly from virgin forests that are subject to destructive logging.
4. Catastrophic – forests with high conservation value or untouched virgin forests. Most of them are listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora or the Red Book of Endangered Species published by the World Conservation Union.
1, recommended to buy - FSC certified wood products
2. Acceptable - eucalyptus (beech / Cyclobalanopsis), birch, black walnut, cherry wood (
3, should be avoided to buy - maple (a maple), fir, larch, oak (red oak / elm / elm), pine, spruce (white pine / elm), poplar, rubber wood
4, catastrophic - Sapele (African mahogany), Meimudou (Damei pigeonpea, red bean pomelo, Thai pomelo king), ash (ash wood), white paulownia, wing red iron wood ( Gold wire red sandalwood /
The main reason for the destruction of virgin forests and tropical rainforests comes from the demand for rare wood species in the home market, and the demand for land for growing cash crops by large corporate consortia. Therefore, if we can avoid buying the wood species that destroy the original forest, it is a big step in environmental protection.
Small knowledge: Carbon emissions from forest destruction account for about one-fifth of global carbon emissions, equivalent to carbon emissions from energy fuels such as coal and oil. Such shocking data is mainly due to the fact that in the ecosystem of the virgin forest, a large amount of carbon is locked in a solid state—mud carbon. This is a forest that is constantly changing between old and new, accumulated over thousands of years, and is formed by fossil fuels. The early state before. When the vegetation on the thick peat is destroyed, it will be gradually oxidized to release carbon dioxide, which is one of the most important causes of greenhouse effect, climate change and ecosystem imbalance.
Paper-based environmental protection concept - natural, economical, sustainable
Why do we make furniture from paper? Because corrugated is the most ingenious structure in the world, it achieves the maximum load-bearing strength and saves natural resources such as wood with the least amount of raw materials and the lightest weight. Paper can also be recycled for 85% recovery. These maximize the efficiency of use and make use of valuable natural resources in the most economical and sustainable manner.
Paper-based environmental protection concept - just enough
If you are worried about the load-bearing and waterproof performance of paper furniture, we can guarantee that it will meet the daily use. In our opinion, the weight of the locker is 50-80kg, and the weight of the chair is 200-300kg. The use of materials by traditional furniture is a waste. The waterproof performance is the same, as long as it can ensure that the water will not penetrate the traces within 10 minutes, there is no need to use paint, melamine and other environmentally friendly surface waterproof materials like traditional furniture. Excessive physical properties will put a burden on the environment, so in terms of product performance, we are adhering to "just enough."
