A valuable raw material which is becoming increasingly scarce

Wood: A natural product and a valuable raw material. Made into beams, boards or wood-based products in the form of chipboard or fibreboard, the building and furniture trades cannot imagine being without it. Of course, wood is not just used as a building material but also for fuel. This is leading to it becoming increasingly scarce as a raw material. Some species of trees are already being harvested faster than they can be replaced. If we want to preserve our forests for future generations then we need an alternative which is sustainable and just as natural as wood.

A future without wood? For us that’s unimaginable!

• more power plants means burning more and more wood
• certain species of trees are already being over exploited by about a third
• by 2020, approx. 430 million cubic metres of forest will be lost in Europe alone (Estimate from the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation)

That’s why, amongst other things, by developing BalanceBoard we are trying to ease the burden on forests as best we can!
