Swartland: use wood and save trees

USE WOOD, AND SAVE TREES.

The more wood we use, the more forests we will save. It might seem contradictory, but it’s simple economics. Greater demand for wood makes it more valuable to local communities, and less likely that whole forests will be cleared to make way for other crops, or other, potentially damaging activities, such as mining. As a leading building materials manufacturer, we have a responsibility to monitor our environmental impact. That’s why we prefer to source our wood from responsibly managed forests, where harvesting is strictly controlled. Managed this way, forests become a renewable resource, and you can choose our wooden windows, doors, garage doors and COL products secure in the knowledge that the next generation would be able to do the same. And if you take into account the energy-saving benefi ts of wood, it’s simply the natural choice if you care about the environment. For more info call 086 110 2425 or visit www.swartland.co.za
