We’ve done a lot of time talking about bamboo in our eco-range so it’s time to share the load – shifting our focus to the highly durable birch wood cards.
Birch is a widely used sustainable wood that is native to North America, commonly known as yellow birch due to its light colour and smooth grains.
During the 1960s and 1970s, birch wood was frequently used in home furnishings, fast forward to recent years and birch wood often finds itself used for utilitarian purposes such as crates and plywood.
Birch trees are highly sustainable, especially due to their multi-use, as the tree produces a sap that can be made into a syrup, whilst the bark is used as kindling.
