Being a strong advocate of protecting the environment, Softwood insists on using only rubber-wood that is of replenishable source and widely accepted throughout the world as an environmental-friendly material. Rubber-wood is obtained as a by-product from culling of rubber plantation in excess of 25 years of age that can no longer produce latex for commercial application and need to be replanted with new growth. Thus, not only no deforestation is involved, but also every integral part of the tree is employed to its fullest utilization.

Along the production process, reusing and recycling of process waste is even more obvious. Wooden parts can be used in the making of much versatile ParticleBoard within the furniture industry. Sawdust from our dust collecting system is utilized as compressed fuel-cube for traditional cooking or as perfect material for mushroom cultivation. While much finer dust is the crucial component in incense-stick production.

Recognizing that each of us, may it be a person or company, has a part to play in this essential environment, Softwood strictly uses only non-toxic color and lacquer constituent for all our products. This not only contributes to the safety proposition for children but also demonstrates our determined commitment to mother earth.
