Sustainability
Using raised planters gives a great opportunity to specify sustainable materials. Timber is often a great solution – provided it is itself sustainably sourced. A natural solution can help to soften a hard landscape environment as well.
In the UK we are seen as leaders in sustainable forest management aiming to maximise productivity without forgetting the importance of maintaining and expanding our wooded areas. The life cycle of wood – from the growing of seedlings, to planting, managing and harvesting the trees, to the processing of the raw material to produce thousands of products from timber to paper to WoodBlocX and renewable energy products is vital for sustaining the vibrant industry we have here in the UK.
