Is the production of the wooden products sustainable?

Our producer, that has been our close partner for three years already, receives the raw material for our products from the Zheijang province in the East of China. In this region the wood is harvested following the ‘conservation of population’ principle. This means that for every tree being harvested, a new one is planted.

In addition, most of our suppliers work a lot with bamboo, which is a very sustainable sort in itself. The bamboo species grows at a very fast pace (several centimetres per day) and can easily be grown in ‘bamboo farms’. This makes bamboo an excellent raw material without having to harm the population.

Furthermore, we also started a collaboration with Trees For The Future, a non-profit organisation that plants trees where they are most needed. We make a donation worth of one tree for every product that we have sold. Thus by buying a Time For Wood product, you not only help for yourself, but you also give back to nature!
