• American hardwoods

Future heirlooms Environmental Profile

 

Preliminary calculations based on extensive data collected shows the following:

The amount of carbon stored in the American hardwood lumber on arrival at the factory in Turkiye was 1.705 tonnes CO2e, compared to emissions associated with all extraction, conversion, and transport of the lumber of 0.947 tonnes CO2e, resulting in a carbon footprint of -(minus) 0.757 tonnes CO2e.  

Through natural regeneration, the replacement time for all the US hardwood lumber used for the project (1.08 tonnes) would be just 2.3 seconds.

The total biogenic carbon stored in the final pieces was 1.107 tonnes CO2e. 

The total carbon footprint of all the designs was just 112 kg CO2e - most designs being either carbon negative or close to it.

Full Life Cycle environmental profiles for all of the designs will be provided at a later date.
