THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Proper Wood Products develops products from invasive alien plants in the Overberg region in the Western Cape, South Africa. This landscape is part of the Cape Floristic Region (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the smallest of the six recognised floral kingdoms of the world.
It is a highly threatened ecosystem with 70% of the plants, mostly associated with the Fynbos Biome, found nowhere else on the planet.
Invasive alien plants refer to plants brought to South Africa from other countries, and they are invasive because they spread rapidly and displace the indigenous trees and plants. This threatens biological diversity. Without natural enemies, they reproduce and spread very quickly, using significantly more water than indigenous plants.
Invasive alien plants increase the amount of biomass in the surrounding environment by up to 300%, which means that they pose a significant fire risk.
