Simply elegant, this Premier Sustainable Mango Wood Open Star is hand carved. The warm colour and beautiful grain of the wood is unique in each product and only adds to the charm of this natural decoration.
Premier are choosing to reuse and becoming a more environmentally responsible company. They have been making changes and steps towards reaching their ethical goals with new recycled glass, plastic and wood products.
Mango wood is highly sustainable due to its cultivation as a fruit tree. The trees grow to maturity relatively quickly for a hardwood, reaching maturity after about 15 years. At this point they begin to produce less fruit, or stop altogether.
Mango farmers begin to plant new trees every 7 to 15 years before the older trees become barren. This creates a cycle of plantation and harvest, with only the less fruitful trees being chopped down for wood. Using mango wood also means there is less pressure to se more endangered trees such as teak.
