In our pursuit of a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle, we understand that every choice Waterrower makes matters.
All the while, waterrower |NOHRD is proud to invent and manufacture wooden fitness equipment, which not only improves the well-being of users, but also contributes to a healthier planet.
A key aspect of our commitment to sustainability is the natural wood we use in our gym equipment.
Renewable natural hardwood resources
waterrower|The wood material for all Nohrd products is sourced from renewable resources managed in the USA and Europe. By maintaining the balance and health of the forest through a certain percentage of harvesting and regeneration rates, we support all forestry projects that contribute to the harmonious development of the environment.
Appalachian Forest
Each WaterRower water resistance rowing machine is manufactured in Rhode Island, USA, to ensure the same quality in the world, and the wood is sourced exclusively from the Appalachian Forest hardwoods of the Appalachian Mountains of North America, and thanks to the supervision of the Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers Association (AHMI), our wood is full of age, high quality, less moth-eater, and bright color.
With modern sustainable forest management techniques, 1 billion trees have been added to the region since 2007, and about 1,200 square kilometers of forest have been added to Appalachia over the past 25 years, meaning that for every Waterrower rower, many times more new trees will grow to ensure the rebirth and vitality of the forest.
Carbon capture of a tree
Trees are nature's best carbon dioxide capture tool and the best air purifier, a medium-sized oak tree can absorb 165 kg of carbon dioxide per year, convert it into oxygen, and the carbon will also be permanently sequestered in the fibers, making it a natural carbon sink (carbon pool).
Therefore, making wooden gym equipment from wood from sustainably managed forests can help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The longevity and durability of solid wood
Turning over the long river of history, it is not difficult to find that as long as it is used properly, the service life and durability of wood can still glow with the luster of years without losing its function even after hundreds of years of baptism.
In 1987, the first generation of rowing machines was still brand new).
What is certain is that our gym equipment made of solid wood will stand the test of time and reduce the need for frequent replacement and maintenance, which is not only cost-effective for users, but also plays an important role in sustainable development: reducing the need for resources.
Responsible manufacturing process
In our manufacturing processes, we are committed to production improvements that reduce carbon emissions to further reduce our environmental impact. Solar panels are installed on the roof of the factory, and energy storage provides power for the factory.
At the same time, we will introduce a resource-recycling power generation system and convert production waste into fuel. Biomass boilers that provide heat for winter, environmentally friendly degradable cartons that avoid over-packaging, etc.
Sustainable lifestyle
When you select waterrower |We believe that under sustainable practices, the whole process from material selection, production, sales to use, over time, will inevitably contribute to the environment, the earth and ecology.
Everything is good at wood, and wood is good, and together with Waterrower towards a greener and healthier future journey.
