By choosing parquet, you are
buying and installing a bio-based product which comes from a sector:
- Which has a positive role in terms of carbon sink – European forests are sustainably managed and growing, they sequester 10% of the EU Greenhouse Gas emissions per year;
- Which has a positive role in terms of carbon storage – wood products are extending the carbon cycle, by using them, you are planting a second forest;
- Which has a positive role in terms of substitution of non-renewable, fossil-based products whose manufacturing is highly energy-intensive.
These roles of the Real Wood
products are recognized by the European authorities: “(…) engineered wood offers great environmental benefits as well as
excellent economic opportunities. Studies show that the average impact of
building with 1 ton of wood instead of 1 ton of concrete could lead to an
average reduction of 2.1 tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the complete
life cycle of the product (including use and disposal).” (A Sustainable Bioeconomy
for Europe, EU Commission, October 2018)
By choosing Real Wood flooring, you are thus
addressing global challenges such as Climate Change, land and ecosystems
degradation, by decarbonizing the economy, Europe and the World!
