Trees are a sustainable and renewable source of timber. Wood processing is a general term to describe the different types of methods to utilise wood. The timber can be used for construction, heating, producing electricity and fuel. Wood fibre is used for manufacturing clothing and some of the food that we eat.
Wood Processing
Managed harvesting systems do not in any way resemble the devastation caused by illegal or unmanaged logging systems. Logging practices vary from large-scale commercial timber plantations to individuals harvesting fuelwood.
“As long as there are human beings on this planet, there will be a demand for wood, pulp, and other forest resources, and there will be businesses that endeavour to meet that demand. The only realistic way to conserve our forests is to apply sustainable forest management practices.” Rainforest Alliance
