Acaciaware™ and Sustainability
Acaciaware™ is responsibly forested with care. 'Responsibly forested' means that our wood is harvested in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.
Sustainability means:
- Harvesting rates and clearing sizes that do not exceed a forest's natural capacity to regenerate.
- Maintaining natural forest conditions needed for wildlife and healthy ecosystems to function.
- Protecting and maintaining rare, threatened and endangered species and forest types.
- Not clearing forests or replacing them with barren tree plantations.
- Minimizing or eliminating chemical use.
- Protecting streams and rivers from soil erosion that degrades water quality and fish habitats.
- Helping workers, communities and indigenous people benefit from the forestry operations and protecting their rights and interests.
Tree Replanting
As part of our dedication to social responsibility, Pacific Merchants Trading has committed to planting trees in pursuit of sustainable development, conservation and the protection of our environment. Our goal is to make a positive impact on future generations and encourage others to follow our lead.
Acacia wood is resistant to decay because the tree deposits in the heartwood have many waste substances that are preservatives, which render the wood unpalatable to insects. This makes the wood dense and thus resistant to penetration by water and other agents of decay.
The Sustainable Acacia Tree
Why Is Acaciaware Acacia Wood The Sustainable Choice?
- Acacia trees are easy to grow and fast growers. Depending on the species, they can grow anywhere from 1-3 feet per year. An acacia tree can regrow 2-3 times on the same trunk.
- The rapid growth rate of the acacia tree makes it an ideal choice for sustainable forestry. When managed properly, acacia plantations can provide a renewable source of wood with minimal impact on the environment.
- Growing acacia trees is sustainable because they capture and store carbon dioxide and because more than one product can be harvested from the same tree. Acacia trees are used around the world for re-forestation because of these qualities.
- Our wood sources use harvesting rates that do not exceed a forest's natural capacity to regenerate. Natural forest conditions are maintained for wildlife and healthy ecosystems.
- Pacific Merchants is socially conscious and we help local communities benefit from the forestry. We support employment, school lunch programs, medical exams and college scholarships.
