Xyhlo biofinish is completely circular in nature. Both the coating and the oil are derived from organic, local supplies and exist of only natural parts. After the biofinish extends its technical longevity all components can be given back to the planet in their entirety, contributing to the cradle-to-cradle philosophy.
A Carbon-neutral solution for disposal can be to use the bio-finish protected wood as a source for generating plant-based biofuel. However, an even cleaner method would be to return the waste to the earth directly, preferably in a shredded form, so that the next generation of trees may rise assured and nourished by the bio-finish waste. In any case, wood protected with Xyhlo bio-finish does never create waste or an environmental problem. On the contrary, the wood-stored carbon stays bunched up when deposited in nature, meaning that the end-product contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions in our atmosphere.
Traditional methods for the protection of wood raise civil as well as environmental concerns. Xyhlo bio-finish is a green alternative for conservative use of metallic salts or biocides.
Xyhlo versus biocides
More than ten-thousand cubic feet of wood is being treated with harmful biocides annually in The Netherlands alone. Adding up to the constant repainting of our houses with an immense amount of coatings per paint drop, all containing biocides and contributing to the to emission of Carbon gasses and Volatile Organic Compounds.
In Europe, more than 2,3 million Tonnes of coatings are used anally for the protection of wood. On a world-scale, this number rises to almost 30 million Tonnes per year. On top of this there is the yearly 6.5 million square meters of wood being chemically impregnated. The use of an environmentally-friendly alternative for these chemical processes would instantiate a massive decrease of pollution, footprint and environmental tax.
