If the demand and volume for the Whitelines products becomes large enough, they will be able to maintain their neutral carbon footprint certification quite easily. I've been using the products for almost two years. This will be huge over here in the States. People who use it, love it.

Buying anything in small quantities to be shipped to you isn't the best way to go. They will be coming from within the US, since White Lines now has a US distributor, so it's not quite the impact that could have been, straight from Sweden. Owl, you hit it on the nail. Just because something has an ecologically positive attribute in one aspect does not make it sustainable. It's important to consider the overall impact that each product design decision makes.

So much of what is recycled now has an enormous carbon footprint as the bulk recycled materials are shipped overseas only to be shipped back as finished products. In the end the carbon footprint can end up being much greater than virgin product. I think the key is locally sourced wood products in this case.
