By purchasing central European hardwood you as proGOODWOOD customer support the sustainable cultivation of domestic forests, prevent mono cultures, and secure precious jobs here in Germany.

Therefore you should know the following:

• The German forest grows by more than 80 million solid cubic meters annually - whereof at present about 50 million solid cubic meters are used in Germany, 10 million solid cubic meters are exported. That means that the current demand does not correspond to the potential supply - large quantities of precious domestic wood exceed the present demand and therefore run the risk to rot or to be solely pyrolysed (as firewood). But for this purpose the wood is really too good! The demand for the domestic hardwoods beech and ash that is currently insufficient can now be increased significantly, as these woods become marketable again as substitutes for tropic wood because of proGOODWOOD.
• As affordable tropic wood alternative with comparable product properties, proGOODWOOD creates new application alternatives for this domestic hardwood - as terrace or floor covering, for facades, windows, doors, furniture, or as construction wood.
• Soft wood monocultures are not necessary (as proGOODWOOD provides new application areas and markets for domestic hardwood) and tropic wood imports could be reduced drastically. Ecologically precious mixed forest concepts here receive a new economic perspective for the future!
• For the increasing demand for firewood there is still sufficient material left, even if the use of wood goes up - proGOODWOOD remnants can be used as board segments, briquettes, and wood chips. The wood gas emitted during the proGOODWOOD production can be used in circuit systems and underline the ecological approach of the entire project.
• Also very important: Through proGOODWOOD, precious workplaces can be created or kept up here in Germany. In the domestic forestry, in local sawmills - and last but not least in the domestic wood processing industry.
