What Makes Mango Wood Sustainable?Mango trees grow fruit from the time they are about five years old until they grow to their full height, usually between 30 and 40 years old. Once they have served their fruit-bearing purpose, aged trees must be replaced with young, fertile trees. A mango tree is not cut down until it can no longer produce harvestable amounts of fruit, and every mango tree that is cut down is replaced with another mango tree.
In the past, the old trees were discarded. They often grow beyond 100 feet tall, so the wood waste was substantial. Now, however their wood is used for making furniture and other goods. This cuts down on waste and provides additional income for mango farmers and their communities.
Repurposing mango wood also reduces carbon emissions, because felled trees are no longer being left to rot. Rotting wood produces carbon dioxide.
