Universal Global Concern
Every day we are surrounded by products necessary for our work, our progress, and our survival. Many of these products come from trees. We also rely on trees for oxygen production, water retention, disease resistance, soil improvement, and wildlife habitats. Yet today, only 5% of our natural virgin forests remain intact. Our forests are resources we can't afford to lose.

What Can We Do?
Working together in small ways, we can make big differences. Recycling is one way. As maker of Polywood, we've found another -- duplicating the natural beauty and quality of wood while preserving our forest. In making the real wood shutter, more than 50% of a tree is wasted before it even gets to your window. Until now there we no alternatives. That's why we've created Polywood -- a recyclable wood substitute. We don't stop at just saving the forests, we also protect our oil reserves by making Polywood a byproduct of natural gas, not a petroleum-based product.

The Bottom Line:
As maker of Polywood, we care about the safety of the environment and about your needs and wants, So, join us by supporting innovative, earthsmart products like Polywood. You can have the best of both worlds.

We hope this helps to answer your questions and familiarize you with Polywood.
