Revotropix Paulownia represents one of the most productive species of trees when it comes to sustainability. Guinness World Records announced Paulownia the World’s Fastest- Growing Tree since 2011. It can be planted on any land, even the one considered useless, thereby optimizing land use and increasing timber supply with a renewable source of raw material. Its growth rate makes it an economically profitable investment as revenue comes in a relatively short period of time. Besides, carbon emissions are reduced as the transport footprint diminishes.
Paulownia’s great advantage is its more rapid growth cycle, especially if compared to other trees. The Tree combines effectively with agro-forestry and Paulownia plantations positively impact local economies, providing benefits for rural development and employment. A precious Paulownia can regenerate from a cut stump and grow into another mature tree again in 4 to 6 years. The repetition of this cycle 4 to 6 multiplies the effect of forest conservation.
For millennia, wood has been prized as a recyclable and renewable natural resource, and it is inevitable in the process towards a more sustainable economy and society. It is anticipated and expected that the industries will demand more and more timber in the future, and the high cycle rotation of Paulownia makes it an extremely efficient and ideal source of raw material.
MOST PRODUCTIVE SPECIES
1. Can be planted on any land, even the one considered useless
2. Optimizing land use
3. increasing timber supply with a renewable source of raw material
FAST GROWING
Paulownia is the World’s Fastest Growing Tree as per Guinness World Records since 2011.
REGENERATION ABILITY
Paulownia can regenerate from a cut stump and grow into another mature tree again in 4 to 6 years. The repetition of this cycle 4 to 6 multiplies the effect of forest conservation.
Additionally, the fact that Paulownia can be planted in plantations ensures the supply of locally produced wood, thus there is no any need for material importation from third countries. This would keep our resources in our rural areas, which would contribute to the stimulation of local economies while helping climate change mitigation, as the carbon footprint diminishes.
As Paulownia cultivation makes a profitable business, it would encourage the development of local communities and open employment opportunities, as both skilled and unskilled labour will be required to grow it and transform Paulownia tree into the final products. Although this is true for any tree species, Paulownia plantations are different as the Paulownia cycle is 4 to 5 years, which is a very short time, especially if we compare it with the oak or rubber tree! Paulownia cultivation is extremely beneficial to agriculture due to its speed of rotation.
Finally, the environmental advantages of Paulownia plantations are of major vital importance since these green filters purify the air, clean the water source, restore the soil, and reduce global warming. Paulownia absorbs more carbon dioxide than any other tree species, which results in better carbon emission control. Paulownia tree roots help avoid erosion during floods, and their plantations improve infiltration in river areas.
