REBONDING FOREST FIBRE TO SUSTAINABLE DEPLOYMENT

Resumé

The significance of wood in artistic manipulations is unraveled to any other material used in engineering, commercial or in infrastructural uses. All this is at the cost of eco-sustainability, not directly because manufacturing remains ecofriendly, but indirectly; because forests are expended in realization of this raw material. The author pre-supposes that with the mere thought of cutting a tree, environmental degradation has already begun [1]. As a preventive measure, least draw from the environment should be solicited and/or engineered. This work attempts to sketch the misdemeanor of focusing on the wood rather than the trees. Such a focus has helped society deforest the natural green cover while perfecting wood engineering. Through this work the authors’ paradigm to continue their endeavor to enrich the “wood engineering” but at no further expense to the forest cover. This will be affected by a reengineering of the attitude of “wood engineering,” which holistically seeks the deployment of trees together with the various product options ranging from the root of trees, bark, fibers extracted from the plants and byproducts of consumed or non-consumable wooden products. The product reengineering must seek a change depending upon the different types of by-products or waste produced in the primary unit of manufacturing the wooden product. The desired emphasis is not to opt for trees as a direct use in its product or fuel, but through a component-wise selection-attitudinally.Keywords: Wood, Deforestation, Value of a tree, Return to environment, Eco-future
