Why is Kebony an environmentally friendly alternative?
Kebony has a low carbon footprint compared to most other wood products. This has two main reasons: 1) Kebony’s long durability – which ensures that the carbon content is stabilised for a long time compared to the re-growth time of the wood that Kebony is produced from, and 2) Kebony’s policy of only sourcing wood that has been sustainably managed and harvested. Kebony for yacht decking is a good example: The finished Kebony Yacht product has a carbon footprint which is less than a quarter of product made from teak. The Kebony products based on Nordic pine have been awarded the Nordic eco-label “The Swan”. Kebony is utilizing an agricultural waste product as the source of the active ingredient. Kebony is alleviating the use of wood from vulnerable and endangered rainforests. Kebony is produced in state of the art production facilities, without emissions to the external environment.
