WHY
WOOD?
Parquet is
tackling
climate change.
The environmental benefits of choosing real wood are indisputable. Far less energy is consumed in timber production, processing and disposal than with any other construction material. The popularity of real wood floors grows, so the commitment to cultivation has grown with it. More trees are grown than are currently harvested.
The more
trees we use,
the more we
plant.
Virtually all the wood that we use is sourced from European forests which are sustainably managed. ‘Harvesting’ creates space for new growth. For every tree that is felled, we plant two.
Parquet is
circular.
Wood is completely recyclable. It can be used and reused, recycled and finally converted into bioenergy. No other material can equal this, in terms of volume and economy.
So much better
than carbon-
hungry
alternatives.
The production and processing of wood is highly energy-efficient, giving wood products an ultra-low carbon footprint. Furthermore, wood can often be used to substitute materials like steel, aluminum, concrete or plastics, which require much larger amounts of energy during production.
Parquet reduces
greenhouse gases.
The ‘carbon storage’ or ‘saving’ effect of wood products has a significant role to play in reducing greenhouse gases. Increasing the use of wood products will continue to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere.
