Using recycled plastics keeps tons of plastic from being thrown into our landfills every year. It also reduces the amount of energy consumed and pollution emitted during the production of new plastic, which is made by refining oil into petrochemicals. Every year, a large quantity of idle wood can be found in old warehouses, shipping pallets and as unusable scrap from industry production. The majority of this wood ends up in landfills, but at Burnes Home Accents, we decided to put it to use and save trees. The result is a high quality, unique and sustainable wood product. You will notice that the wood has nail hole marks, bolt holes, knots and other distressing. These are details in the wood that show its long life story. By purchasing products made from reclaimed wood, you are taking a step in the right direction to alleviate pressure on overflowing landfills and the world’s forests.
