Forest-Friendly Products
Experts believe that by the end of 2017, forest-friendly products could control as much as 45 percent of the market share.
Approximately 250 million trees could be saved each year if every newspaper was recycled. Unfortunately, less than a third of American newspapers are. This plays more into why forest-friendly products are so important. If it were feasible to move all media to digital, more than 413,000 acres of trees could be saved annually.
Because forest conservation is a growing trend, everything from tissue paper to house-construction materials are using alternative manufacturing. For instance, Trex creates a composite material made from recycled plastic and wood that is more durable and retains its color longer than traditional wooden products.
