    • We use lot of trees

    Over 4 billion cubic meters of wood are consumed every year. With this amount of wood you could build a gigantic fleet of more than 200 million large Viking ships - enough to fit a third of the world's population.

    Your weight in trees many times over

    We produce 370 kilos of wood for everyone on the planet every year.

    ...and numbers are growing

    Demand for wood is expected in increase by 50 percent from 2005 to 2030. The most dramatic change will be the growing use of wood as a source of energy.

    Good wood

    Sustainable products for all uses of wood exist - furniture, flooring, building materials, paper etc.
