TerraMai goes carbon neutral
TerraMai continues its tradition of leadership
and innovation by becoming the first reclaimed wood company to go
carbon neutral.
This represents one more step in TerraMai’s
ongoing commitment to sustainability.
TerraMai was founded on a commitment to sustainability
in 1991. Although we only deal in reclaimed wood - a sustainable,
recycled product – we are constantly looking for ways to be
even more green.
We understand that carbon offset programs are
not the ultimate solution to the world’s sustainability challenges.
However, they do offer an accessible way for conscientious companies
to mitigate the emissions necessary in the production and transport
of goods.
Everything we acquire as consumers contains embodied
energy to produce and ship – from apples to shoe laces to
toothpaste and on and on. The opportunity for conscientious companies
is to find innovative ways to neutralize those emissions, even if
those solutions impact the immediate bottom line. Ultimately, how
can we afford not to?
Sustainability is a core feature of TerraMai’s
identity. We are continually looking for innovative applications
for reclaimed wood – from solid reclaimed wood products, to
engineered flooring and panel products. We are also continually
searching for more sustainable ways to produce these products and
bring them to market. Going carbon neutral represents one more step
in that ongoing process.
It is products and solutions like these that make
TerraMai the world’s leading reclaimed wood company.
