DCI INTERNATIONAL PTY LTD REFORESTATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Protecting nature by using wood from legal and sustainable sources is one of Tramontina’s principal commitments in its production process. The company employs forest management techniques and utilizes reforested wood to ensure respectful production, which promotes fair and responsible commerce. But what exactly do these terms mean? Reforested wood is produced from tree plantations grown in previously deforested or degraded areas. This type of initiative helps to recover abandoned or endangered ecosystems. Wood from forest management is obtained through selective and controlled tree harvesting in native forests, with the objective of guaranteeing their regeneration and conservation. Both methods are equally important for sustainable wood production, aiming for environmental conservation. Reforested wood prevents native forests from becoming threatened, while wood from forest management allows for a conscientious and responsible use of resources, conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. At this time t when discussion about responsible management of natural resources is so frequent Tramontina is assuming environmental responsibility as one of its operational priorities. This is one of the pillars of the initiative – doing things ethically, sustainably and effectively today to protect tomorrow. Teak wood is desired because of: the attractive colour and grain, durability, strength, resistance to splitting, cracking, termites, fungus and weathering.
