Recycling office furniture, cherish forest resources, care for green homes

In order to make countries around the world pay more attention to the protection and development of forest resources and actively maintain ecological security, the United Nations General Assembly has designated March 21 as "World Forest Day" and called on countries around the world to hold commemorative activities.

The theme of this year's World Forests Day is "Forests and sustainable production and consumption. This slogan is meant to call for sustainable wood choices for people and the planet. Wood is consumed and produced in a more environmentally friendly manner, thereby conserving valuable timber resources.

How much do you know about the forest?

1. Forests are home to about 80 per cent of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, with more than 60000 species of trees growing in forests and woodlands.

2. About 1.6 billion million people depend directly on forests for food, shelter, energy, medicine and income.

3. The forest is known as the "lung of the earth". An acre of forest can absorb about 67 kilograms of carbon dioxide and release about 49 kilograms of oxygen every day.

4. Forests play an important role in solving the increasingly serious environmental problems facing mankind.

However, due to human activities, an average of 36 forest areas the size of football fields are destroyed every minute, and 10 million hectares of forest are destroyed every year, which is equivalent to the area of Iceland. It is estimated that 0.17 billion hectares of forest will no longer exist in the world by 2030.

What happens when a lot of forests are destroyed?

More carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming. The loss of forests will lead to land degradation. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 2 billion hectares of land are currently affected by this impact, which is larger than the area of South America, causing thousands of forest-dependent wild animals to become homeless and eventually extinct.

Protection of forest resources, rational recycling of wood and other forest resources, imminent! For enterprises, the use of paperless office, the use of second-hand office furniture, can effectively reduce the consumption of wood products, thereby protecting forest resources, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, protecting our homes!

my country is a country with a relative shortage of wood resources in the world, and it is also a major producer of office furniture. Every year, the carbon dioxide generated during the processing and transportation of new office furniture reaches nearly 20 million tons. Maintain and increase forest coverage, restore and improve Forest function is urgent.

How to reasonably recycle quality second-hand office furniture and turn it into waste is also an important way to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of wood and realize the sustainable use of office furniture, and it is also an urgent task to develop circular economy.

The second tree recycling furniture focuses on the recycling of brand office furniture. After 13 years of development efforts, at present, there are 10 branches in eight cities across the country, with an area of 70500 square meters of offline exhibition halls. A total of 2.6 million pieces of furniture have been recycled in 13 years, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 11.1033 billion cubic meters, equivalent to a variety of 2.6 million trees.
