Kiri Environmental
Impact:

There are approximately 400 million hardwood trees cut down per year to produce face veneer on hardwood plywood.

The average hardwood tree that is cut for rotary sawn veneer produces about 1500 square feet of veneer. Less than 25% of that veneer is considered “A” quality veneer.

A pulpwood tree, like a pine tree, yields approximately 8000 square feet of face veneer using our technology. 100% of our face veneer is considered “A” grade.

What does that mean for our society?

Consider the numbers:

What are the average annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of a typical passenger vehicle?
A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
This assumes the average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of about 22.0 miles per gallon and drives around 11,500 miles per year. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2. https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/ greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle

Information
about Trees:

Like other green plants, trees use photosynthesis to convert CO2 into sugar, cellulose and other carbon-containing carbohydrates they use for food and growth.

Trees are unique in their ability to convert large amounts of carbon into wood, continually adding carbon as they grow.

Pine tree

Softwood pulp trees, like the southern yellow pine, absorb about 10kg of carbon per year.

Sugar maple tree

Hardwood trees, like the sugar maple, absorb about 22kg of carbon per year.

Pine tree

An average pine tree can grow for about 90 years.
The pine tree will sequester a little over 1 ton of CO2 .

Sugar maple tree

An average sugar maple tree can grow for 300 years.
Over their lifespan, the maple will sequester over 7 tons of CO2 .

Kiri Technology
and Environmental Impact:

If all the face veneer of hardwood plywood was replaced with our technology for only 1 year, the industry would allow sequestration of 9.6 million metric Tons of CO2!!!

This number grows exponentially when carried out over 10 years to almost 100 million metric Tons per year! In only 40 years, the additional CO2 sequestration would be almost 8 billion metric tons.

These are very important numbers due to the
massive amounts of CO2 placed in the air as
a result of pollution from industrialization.

Translated into the number of cars driven, the first-year effect is equivalent of removing 2 million cars from the road (that is like removing all of the pollution caused by cars in New York City.

By year 10, it’s the equivalent of removing 21.7 million cars from the road each year (that is like removing all of the pollution from ALL of the cars in Texas.

This is simply an example of the utilization of our technology on face veneer of hardwood plywood. There are many additional uses, and the numbers grow much higher.

The incorporation of this technology truly carries out our mission of developing products and technology that have a positive effect on people and the world.

The 7F IP technology behind Kiri Veneer provides wood product manufactures a true alternative to hardwood veneers without sacrifice. When they adopt this technology, not only will manufacturers increase their quality and yield, but they will also have a positive impact on the environment.
