Why are sustainable business models that important?

Conservationists have dedicated a day of the year known as “Earth Overshoot Day”. It marks the date when the human population’s demand for ecological resources and services in a year have exceeded the amount that Earth can regenerate that year. By knocking off this balance, we are just using more than what the Earth can give us. This is detrimental to the future of Earth and its inhabitants and we have to put a stop to this.

It is our collective effort that produces prominent results if we all work together towards achieving this. Simple things we can do as individuals include conserving water and electricity as much as we can, reducing or omitting plastic usage. However, as individuals, there is only so much we can do. Businesses have the most power and ability to make a significant change. Recently, businesses are working towards altering their business models to incorporate sustainable practices in order to be eco-friendly.

One sustainable practice that brand by SMOKE® practices is the utilization of reclaimed wood from Singapore felled tress and ethically sourced wood. Ethically and carefully sourced wood does not in any way contribute to deforestation of the loss of biodiversity. In other words, it ensures that we have plenty of greenery to maintain a healthy air quality and that no species of animals are endangered in the process.

Salvaged wood is unused wood. They are basically retrieved from old forest growth, fallen logs, logs found in rivers and so on. These are almost perfect as they may be hidden for hundreds of years in water and also perfectly preserved without any exposure to heat and oxygen that could have degraded them. Reclaimed wood is retrieved from old homes, Singapore lorry, fallen trees, tress that causes safety issues and such.

The benefits of reclaimed wood to recycled are that they are less likely to crack due to years of drying and are less expensive. Features that are generally considered to be flaws in new wood are recognised as desirable traits in old wood. Flaws in older wood earn them descriptions like rustic, heritage, unique and antique. There is a great demand for bespoke, rustic furniture amongst customers’ these days.
