Sustainability

Being sustainable or green has become a slogan, but at CUTEK® it is part of our DNA. The very purpose for the creation of CUTEK® products was to maximize the service life of wood. It is a simple equation: extension of the service life of wood = less trees cut down as their replacement.

CUTEK® products are also manufactured with the use of high-grade recycled raw materials and renewable resources where possible, which decreases waste stream and incinerations.

Beyond these internal measures, CUTEK® also gives back. We are champions for the ecological use and long-term protection of wood. We are partnered with One Tree Planted and plant 1 tree for every can of CUTEK® wood oil sold worldwide. At CUTEK® sustainability isn’t a slogan, it is in our DNA.
