For millennia, wood burning has served as a vital source of warmth and light, essential to human survival. Today, it’s crucial to consider how our choices affect the environment we share. In 2021, the UK government introduced new guidelines, and a clean air strategy aimed at ensuring our practices do not harm our health or the environment. Whether it’s households or larger businesses, everyone has a responsibility to adopt environmentally sound practices. At Green Olive Firewood, we see ourselves as more than just a firewood supplier; we are deeply committed to both our customers and the planet. Our mission revolves around providing outstanding renewable energy sources while minimising our ecological impact.

The Environmental Impact of Traditional Firewood
Traditional firewood, often obtained through unsustainable forestry practices or from non-renewable sources, contributes to air pollution in several detrimental ways:
- Emissions of Harmful Pollutants: Burning traditional firewood can release hazardous substances like carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) when combustion is inefficient. Such pollution poses serious health risks—especially for vulnerable groups, including children, pregnant individuals, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. This issue often arises from burning wet wood, improper burning techniques, or using chemically treated wood.
- Deforestation and Habitat Loss: Unsustainable logging for traditional firewood leads to deforestation, disrupts ecosystems, and contributes to habitat destruction. Not only does this practice impair the forests’ ability to capture carbon, but it also threatens wildlife and biodiversity.
- Carbon Footprint: The logistics involved in transporting, processing, and distributing traditional firewood contribute to its overall carbon footprint, particularly when sourced from distant locations. This reliance on fossil fuels exacerbates environmental degradation and accelerates climate change.
