Thanks to their ability to absorb carbon\ndioxide and produce oxygen, trees and plants are essential parts of our\necosystem. Unfortunately forests are not always sustainably managed and illegal\nlogging and deforestation are still major problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve compiled this handy guide to help you make the right choice when choosing your wood. In it we\u2019ll provide answers to some of the most common questions about sustainable woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes a wood sustainable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to wood, sustainability is all about provenance and type. Poorly sourced wood often involves the unregulated chopping down of trees. This leaves large empty spaces, destroys natural habitats and, if the tree isn\u2019t replaced, removes a carbon absorber from the ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e60e860faf7ea5c2ba11707\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainable forestry balances the needs of the environment, wildlife and local communities to preserve forests for future generations. Sustainably managed forests are stewarded to protect eco-systems, prevent damage to the landscape and ensure tree logging is done in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainable wood also includes using recycled and reclaimed timber. This can be sourced from local scrapyards, auction sites and through specialist companies. Repurposing second-hand wood is the often the most eco-friendly option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to tell if wood is sustainable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\nbe fairly certain that most wood sourced from countries in the EU are\nsustainable. This is because the EU has introduced comprehensive laws to\nprotect woodlands and forests. Thanks to these laws, buying European wood is\noften the most sustainable choice. Saying that, unfortunately illegal logging\nstill exists in Europe so always look for official certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good\nthing to look out for is the FSC logo. Wood that\u2019s accompanied by this logo\nmeans it\u2019s been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This means it\u2019s\ncome from a forest where trees are replanted in the place of those cut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PEFC logo is also a signifier of sustainable wood. This mean\u2019s the Programme for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification approves the wood as it comes from a sustainable forest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e60eaabad04235e67c0645d\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which woods are endangered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some rare woods can be sourced\nsustainably but there are some endangered woods that should be avoided. These\ninclude wenge, Brazilian mahogany, ebony and teak, particularly teak from\nBurma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure if it\u2019s sustainable, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoftheearth.uk\/natural-resources\/good-wood-guide-how-and-why-use-sustainable-timber\">Friends of the Earth<\/a> where you\u2019ll find a guide to buying sustainable wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is rosewood is no longer used?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1992 Brazilian rosewood was banned internationally as a result of the large-scale environmental destruction and tropical deforestation it created. In order to harvest the in-demand wood, tropical rainforests were being razed to the ground and it had quickly become known as the most endangered wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still buy antique rosewood furniture today but it often comes at a cost because of the wood\u2019s scarcity. Instead, santos palisander is commonly used as a sustainable alternative to traditional rosewood. Also known as Bolivian rosewood, this sustainable wood mimics the beautiful graining and reddish hue that rosewood is coveted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e60eac6ad04235e67c064c2\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top sustainable woods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful, because even the most common woods can be badly sourced so always check where it\u2019s come from. For example European larch is normally responsibly sourced from plantations whilst Russian larch is often taken from ancient forests. To make sure you\u2019re using sustainable woods only buy from reputable sources. When sourced properly, the below woods can be incredibly sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bamboo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike softwoods that can only be harvested in 10-20 years, bamboo can be harvested just 3-5 years after planting. FSC certification doesn\u2019t apply to bamboo so there isn\u2019t a universal way to ensure it\u2019s sustainably sourced. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inbar.int\/\">International Network for Bamboo and Rattan<\/a> website for more information about sourcing ethical and sustainable bamboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oak<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oak is one of the most popular woods and is used throughout our homes for flooring, furniture and much more. Buying oak with an FSC certification is essential because illegal logging is still rife. Alternatively, reclaimed oak flooring is widely available and would make a great sustainable choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/styles.css\" \/><div class=\"zmags-viewer-container\" data-experience=\"5e60eaedfaf7ea5c2ba11aaa\"><\/div><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/manifest.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/vendor.js\"><\/script><script defer type=\"text\/javascript\"  src=\"\/\/c.zmags.com\/static\/client.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Douglas Fir <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This versatile wood is most commonly sourced from Europe and North America. Whilst European Douglas fir is regulated and often comes from well-managed plantations, in the past North American fir has been logged irresponsibly. Unfortunately the same can be said for Canadian fir.
