從一棵樹修枝，看見循環經濟、淨零碳排與地方創生
從行道樹、校園修枝木、果樹修枝、風倒木、枯危木等，林木剩餘在台灣長久以來絕大部分沒有進入林業加工；秉持森林專業，REWOOD木酢達人以「Re」概念回收過去被定義為垃圾的林木剩餘，透過專業的料源分類，將良好材料作為木作傢俱材料；剩餘木料則以800度高溫炭化方式，製作成可有效減緩地球暖化的「生物炭」，同時回收碳化時的高溫水煙「木酢液」也就是「木酢達人」子品牌的誕生源頭，並將木酢液開發清潔產品、抑菌產品、以及最高質化的生技與綠建材用途，完成森林循環鏈。
以炭經濟綠色產業為核心，為台灣山林創造豐盛友善的永續價值，並成立「森林循環湖口創生青年培力工作站」，共吸引 20 位木藝導師與超過 700 位青年參與，讓林業技術持續傳承，讓青年得以返鄉創業，投入循環經濟，要保護森林不能只有盲目造林、更要懂得經營生物多樣性；REWOOD環繞「固碳」核心發展業務並創造青年返鄉，從ReWood工作坊木作產業鏈、碳經濟綠色產業鏈、木酢達人清潔生技鏈，完成林木剩餘之全株利用。
實際案例目前與友達光電「麻布山林」持續進行合作，園區每年的修枝疏伐一年約有10公噸，過去都是焚燒或低加值利用，經過REWOOD循環加值處理，每年將產生固碳與ESG之永續價值，及帶來超過800萬的各式專案與服務價值；與林業及自然保育署(林務局)的合作，將外來入侵種加以運用，推出一系列七款小花蔓澤蘭產品，首批5000瓶很快就銷售一空，目前也持續生產販售；大雪山枯立風倒木專案將其載運裁切，協助網路國產材零售，以及協助當地台灣土肉桂的運用推廣；兩間超過百萬以上的專案合作，再加上產品銷售皆有5~6%的回饋，支持林業及自然保育署的林業永續，建立長久合作的商業模式。
============
From the pruning of a tree, we can see the circular economy, net zero carbon emission and local creativity.
From street trees, school pruning, fruit tree pruning, windswept wood, dead wood, etc., most of the forest residue in Taiwan has not been processed by the forest industry for a long time. As a forest professional, REWOOD wood edelweiss collects forest residue, which has been defined as garbage in the past, and uses it as wood furniture material through the professional classification of the material sources; and uses the remaining wood to produce "biochar", which can effectively reduce global warming, and recycles the high-temperature water smoke "wood edelweiss" during the carbonization. The leftover wood is then carbonized at a high temperature of 800 degrees Celsius to make "biochar" that can effectively reduce global warming. At the same time, the high-temperature smoke from the carbonized water is recycled into "wood vinegar liquid", which is the source of the "Wood Vinegar Master" sub-brand, and the wood vinegar liquid will be used to develop cleaning products, anti-bacterial products, as well as the most high-quality biotechnology and green building materials, thus completing the forest recycling chain.
With the charcoal economy and green industry as the core, REWOOD will create abundant and friendly sustainable values for Taiwan's forests. REWOOD has also set up the "Forest Cycle Hukou Creation Youth Training Station", which has attracted the participation of 20 woodworking instructors and more than 700 young people, so as to continue to pass down the technology of the forest industry, and enable young people to return to their hometowns to start up their own businesses, and to invest in the cyclic economy, so that the protection of the forests can not be confined to blind afforestation, and that it is necessary to know how to manage the biodiversity; REWOOD develops its business around the core of "carbon sequestration" and creates the opportunity for young people to return to their hometowns. From the ReWood Workshop woodworking industrial chain, the carbon economy green industrial chain, and the wood vinegar daemon clean biotechnology chain, the company has accomplished the utilization of the entire forest residue.
Currently, we are working with AUO's "Mabushan Forest", where the annual pruning and thinning of about 10 tons of trees is burned or utilized at low value-added levels, but through REWOOD's recycling and value-added treatment, it will generate the sustainable value of carbon sequestration and ESG every year, as well as the value of over 8 million dollars of various projects and services; and with the Department of Forestry and Conservation (Forestry Department), we will utilize the invasive species to launch a series of seven new projects. In cooperation with the Forestry and Conservation Department (FDA), a series of seven varieties of small-flowered Zelkova products were introduced by utilizing invasive exotic species, and the first batch of 5,000 bottles were sold out quickly, and are currently in continuous production and sale; the Daxue Mountain Deadwood Project loaded and cut up dead wood, assisting in the retailing of domestic timber on the internet, as well as assisting in the promotion of the utilization of local Taiwan cinnamon; the cooperation between the two companies has resulted in more than one million dollars in projects, and in the addition of a 5-6% return on the sale of products, which supports the sustainability of the forests under the FDA's forest management program. The two organizations have over a million dollars in projects, plus a 5~6% return on product sales, supporting the sustainability of the forestry industry and the Department of Conservation, and establishing a long-term cooperative business model.
