Is MiraTEC Trim environmentally friendly?
MiraTEC Trim is made from whole tree logs and field chips. Whole Tree Logs – These logs are known as ‘scrag’ wood, meaning they have no commercial timber value and are detrimental to the overall vitality of the forest. The material is generated as part of forest stand improvement efforts. Field Chips – Field Chips can come from a variety of sources. Field chips are the residuals from field chipping operations of tree tops and scrap wood. If not used in manufacturing operations, this wood is left to rot or is sent to landfills. Field chips are also sourced from land clearing operations that work to prepare an area for residential or commercial development. In addition, field chips are the byproducts of sound logging practices. The removal of field chips allows mature trees to grow. This material is not of the quality to use as lumber.
