Lancrest Moldings® Goes Green!

Online, June 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - New Jersey, USA - Wood products are clearing the Earth's forests on a massive scale! Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world's land area, but huge swaths are lost each and every year. The net loss of the world's forests is estimated at 18 million acres per year.

Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and plants live in forests. Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest soils are moist, but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover they quickly dry out. Trees also help perpetuate the water cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere

Every year, the United States generates approximately 230 million tons of "trash" - Less than one-quarter of it is recycled; the rest is incinerated or buried in landfills.

Mark Anderson, VP of Product Development at Lancrest Molding states "Lancrest Moldings are made from polyurethane and Composite materials. Although many are not aware of this, one of the most important environmentally friendly benefits of polyurethane Molding is its ability to be recycled back into the manufacturing process while also conserving energy. The use of these molding as opposed to wood is considered green and a major step forward in the fight against deforestation. Also, in an effort to preserve our trees, we do not offer a catalog in printed paper format" "At Lancrest we are proud that our products are of both the highest standards of quality, and at the same time environmentally friendly" we remain committed to doing our part to reduce our footprint on the environment and conserve vital natural resources.
