The UK government according to the statistics produces over 6 million tonnes of wood waste per annum of which over 75% is taken to landfill for disposal, despite the majority of the wood being classed as re-useable. We believed that it isn't necessary to recycle wood as it is an organic material that breaks down easily, however it is now proven that once wood is sent to landfill it is exposed to non organic materials which may then prevent wood from breaking down naturally, it may even partially decompose and release methane gas, adding to Global warming and air pollution. In order to stop timber to sent to landfill, burned non-productively or just left outside to rot why not creating this logs into something valuable as seen below.
These are great! I definitely love the rustic look, so these look just up my alley. The fact that you're reusing something that might've just been tossed out is great, too!
