SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
At Cilfiegan Sawmill, we prioritise sustainability by sourcing our logs from local Welsh and English forests. Not only does this support local businesses, but it also reduces the environmental and economic costs associated with long-distance haulage.
Forests and woodlands are crucial components of the UK’s landscape, providing habitat for diverse plant and animal species while acting as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By responsibly felling mature trees, we create space for new growth, perpetuating the sustainable cycle of raw material production.
As advocates for environmental stewardship, Cilfiegan Sawmill proudly supplies FSC-certified UK timber, demonstrating our commitment to preserving and enhancing British woodlands for future generations.
In addition to sustainable sourcing practices, we’ve embraced renewable energy solutions to minimize our environmental footprint. Our investment in photovoltaic solar energy panels on the roof of our sawmill powers our large machinery, which requires significant electricity consumption. By generating our own renewable energy, we’re not only reducing our reliance on non-renewable resources but also advancing towards a more sustainable future for our business and the environment.
