Features & Benefits Why We're Greener
Using no new materials is the greenest practice of all.
Millions of tons of wood is discarded each year in the U.S. from construction projects and lumber mills. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, discarded wood accounts for an estimated 17% of the total waste received at municipal solid-waste landfills in the U.S. A recent article in Biomass Magazine states that the number of landfills available for waste disposal decreased from 8,000 in 1988 to less than 1,800 in 2006—a year in which nearly 14 million tons of wood was discarded.
Cape Cod Fire Logs reduce demand on landfills, save trees from use as firewood, and burn significantly cleaner and greener than regular cordwood:
• Producing extremely low carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gas emissions
• Generating substantially less particulate matter
• Eliminating creosote accumulation
• Generating more energy per pound of wood
Within the next five years, an estimated 44,000 tons of wood discarded by the construction industry and lumber mills that would otherwise have been tossed in landfills will be manufactured into Cape Cod Firelogs.
Greenhouse gas emissions, overflowing landfills, the need to preserve trees and forests—what should we be using to fuel our convenience fires?
