Is Rubberwood an Eco-friendly timber and what do you mean by eco-friendly timber?
The conservation of rain forests is one of the most important environmental issues facing tropical countries. When rubberwood is sustainably produced from plantations, it replaces saw logs and fuel wood that would otherwise be taken from natural forests. Rubber plantations generally have a positive impact on the environment Agro forestry systems with rubber trees could be used to stabalise degraded water catchments. Plantations or rubberwood need to be replanted every 25 years, the same timber is used for wood products thus reducing the deforestation.
