In a world where deforestation and biodiversity loss are critical issues, Carbo AR stands out by adopting sustainable practices that not only comply with international regulations but also actively contribute to preserving the environment. Our commitment to PEFC certification and responsible forest management policies ensures that every bag of charcoal we produce is a step toward balancing industry and nature.
The Impact of Deforestation and the Importance of Action
Deforestation is one of the leading drivers of climate change, habitat loss, and species decline. According to studies by international organizations, millions of hectares of forest are lost annually due to uncontrolled logging and agricultural expansion. At Carbo AR, we understand that as charcoal producers, we have a direct responsibility to protect forest ecosystems.
Responsible Practices: Production Without Cutting Down Trees
Unlike other practices, Carbo AR ensures that our production does not involve logging. Instead, we use wood exclusively from controlled pruning and planned thinning, practices that are not only legal but also beneficial to forest ecosystems.
🔍 What are controlled pruning and planned thinning?
- Controlled pruning: Involves cutting tree branches to improve growth and allow sunlight to reach the forest floor. This stimulates the growth of vegetation that serves as food for livestock and other animals.
- Planned thinning: Removes excess trees or branches to promote the healthy development of the forest and prevent wildfires.
These practices are strictly regulated by government permits that monitor the amount of wood extracted, ensuring that the forest’s structure and regenerative capacity remain intact.
PEFC Certification: The Foundation of Our Sustainability
At Carbo AR, our PEFC certification guarantees that every stage of our production follows environmental, social, and economic criteria. This means we work with legal and responsible sources, protecting local ecosystems and contributing to the development of nearby communities.
How does PEFC certification help combat deforestation?
- Prevention of illegal practices: Verifies that the wood used does not come from illegal sources or protected areas.
- Promotion of biodiversity: Ensures that forest ecosystems remain intact, allowing flora and fauna to coexist.
- Monitoring and traceability: Guarantees that every piece of charcoal can be traced back to its origin, promoting transparency and trust.
Protecting Biodiversity: An Integral Approach
Biodiversity is essential for the planet’s health and the survival of all species. At Carbo AR, our practices are designed to minimize environmental impact and protect the habitats of living beings that depend on forests.
🌱 Key measures to protect biodiversity:
- Respect for natural habitats:
- The forest areas we use are subject to management plans that avoid altering sensitive habitats.
- Natural regeneration:
- Pruning and thinning not only prevent deforestation but also promote healthy forest growth.
- No use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs):
- We ensure that the wood used does not come from sources that harm the genetic biodiversity of local species.
Compliance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1115
As part of our commitment, Carbo AR complies with Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, which establishes strict standards to prevent deforestation in the supply chain of forest products. This reinforces our position as leaders in sustainable charcoal production, ensuring that every exported batch contributes to protecting forests and mitigating climate change.
