The wood from Indonesia
There is hardly a country in the world where the destruction of the rainforest is progressing faster than in Indonesia. Only sustainable forest management can slow down development, preserve biodiversity and protect forests in the long term. Our teak from Java makes a contribution to this.
The Plantation & The Lumber Mill
On Java, teak trees have grown in large areas with extensive plantings for centuries. The resulting teak plantations are similar to our native forests and offer a safe habitat for numerous animal and plant species. Because a little more than a quarter of the entire forest area is designated as a protected area.
Thanks to careful commercial use, the forests have so far been spared from being destroyed by agriculture, a enjoys an excellent reputation around the world because the climatic conditions are ideal for the tree. The teak grows particularly slowly and achieves a high density and oil content.
We only import decking boards from sustainable reforestation from Indonesia. A displacement by industrial agriculture is thus stopped. The Timber Legality Verification System – SVLK In addition to legal origin, the company is also committed to criteria for sustainable and social forest management for timber exports from Indonesia. The Global Forest & Trade Network the WWF supports forest owners and sawmills in adhering to sustainable forest management and production. The European Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition promotes the marketing of sustainable produced tropical wood in Europe.
