Sustainability

NON-RENEWABLE

Limited resources that will one day eventually run out. Examples are oil, ores and minerals. They are made from  natural resources being compressed for thousands of years, and using machinery are dug up from miles underground. These are called finite resources. They produce waste and emissions that are harmeful to the environment.


RENEWABLE

Renewable resources are natural resources that last longer than non-renewable resources. It is important for the environment that more of these get used in manufacturing products today. This would help the environment and also help safegaurd the supply of products and services. Many timber products carry the FSC (Forrest Stewardship Council) logo, which proves that the timber used in the product is from a renewable, managed forrest.
