At Distinctive Timbers Tasmania, we are committed to preserving our environment for future generations. We believe in sustainable practices and ethical sourcing, and we strive to minimize our impact on the planet.
Sourcing of Timber
We use aged, ethically sourced timber for our custom furniture. This means that:
- Our timber is reclaimed or recycled: We repurpose wood that would otherwise be discarded, reducing deforestation and waste.
- Our timber is sustainably harvested: Any new timber we source comes from forests managed responsibly, ensuring biodiversity and ecological balance.
- We support local suppliers: By sourcing timber locally, we reduce our carbon footprint associated with transportation.
We employ environmentally friendly production methods, including:
- Minimal waste: We strive to minimize waste throughout our production process by optimizing material usage and recycling whenever possible.
- Low-VOC finishes: We use low-volatile organic compound (VOC) finishes to reduce indoor air pollution.
- Energy efficiency: We are committed to energy-efficient practices in our workshop, including the use of energy-saving equipment and lighting.
We prioritize sustainable packaging materials and minimize the use of non-recyclable materials. Our delivery methods are designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
We believe in giving back to the community. We support local environmental initiatives and participate in community clean-up programs.
We are continuously evaluating and improving our environmental practices to ensure we are meeting the highest standards of sustainability.
If you have any questions about our environmental policy, please don't hesitate to contact us.
