We are committed to reforestation
Why are we doing this?
We are convinced that heating with wood is sustainable and future-proof.
This is because wood is a renewable and regionally available raw material that is also CO2-neutral. This means that when wood is burned, only as much carbon dioxide is released as the plant has absorbed during its lifetime and would have released anyway during the natural decomposition process.
However, these arguments are of course only valid if it is actually ensured in practice that the forests are used sustainably and regularly reforested.
How do we get involved?
For the third time now, we are refraining from giving our customers “material” gifts at Christmas and are instead planting trees with our Christmas budget.
In 2020, we planted around 1,000 trees in a forest near Neunkirchen am Sand and lent a hand ourselves:
In 2022, we planted over 2,500 seedlings in a forest adjacent to our clay pit, including sessile oaks, hornbeams, sweet chestnuts, wild pears, black locust trees and red oaks.

We would also like to contribute to making the topic of “reforestation” more visible to the general public. Therefore, we have produced a series of video clips with a forester that answer many interesting questions on the subject.
