The 'Scandigreen: Why Swedish Wood is So Sustainable' infographic takes a look at the foresting industry in Sweden. Since Sweden has 25 national parks that are home to many species of old and young trees alike, it has become a major source of wood. The infographic was put together by company 1926.
Sweden has found that their total area of forestry is actually on an increase of about 4,000 KM2 per year. Don't worry though, animals and plants are protected and will not be logged to extinction. From our modern knowledge of protection and conservation of our precious resources, Sweden now knows the importance of not over-logging to the point of scarcity that has occurred in other places in the world. Sustainability is a key term being thrown around concerning the state of wood and resources within Sweden.
