Is teak an eco-friendly choice?
Hildreth’s carries only 100% Plantation Grown Teak. Nearly all of this teak originates from the government-owned plantations on the island of Java (Indonesia). Private plantations also exist in Brazil and Costa Rica. Plantation teak is inherently more environmentally friendly than natural forest timber because no teak trees existed there until the plantations were established. Due to careful management, trees are constantly being planted at a rate that exceeds those being felled.
