Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability matters to us. Although our company is all about burning wood to cook a delicious meal, care for the environment is one of the core principles of Globaltic. This is why we have our own ‘Sustainability Strategy’. Scroll down to find out the steps we are taking every day to protect our planet.
Step 1
Procurement
It all starts with the right wood. It has to be sustainably grown and have the right density for our charcoal. We are privileged to work with several plywood manufacturers that manage their own established forests. The trees are harvested on a 5 year rotation and the area is replanted. This allows us to have a constant and sustainable supply.
Step 2
A by-product
Fortunately for us, a whole tree cannot be used for plywood manufacture. What is a by-product for our partners is used as a raw material for part of our fuel range.
Step 3
Production efficiency
Carbonising wood generates a lot of charcoal dust. In order to minimise waste, we utilise the dust, by compressing it to produce our briquettes. In addition to this, the heat we get during this production is recycled back into the kilns to reduce electricity usage.
Step 4
Packaging
Packaging varies across our range. Spanish Holm Oak is supplied in recycled plastic bags; our other charcoal products use paper bags. Follow the disposal guidance for the specific packaging and your local collection service.
The future
Our plans and goals
We work with FSC-certified suppliers within our supply chain. Globaltic does not yet hold its own FSC chain-of-custody certification. Achieving this is one of our main goals for 2027.
Globaltic Lumpwood Charcoal is listed on DEFRA's authorised fuels register. Fuel ID: 0300.
