The Real Cost Of Cheap Wood - Documentary on the practices of the wood industry with a focus on illegal timber trade.
The Real Cost Of Cheap Wood (2017)
Director: Marie Maurice
Genre: Documentary
Language: English
Also Known As: Wood Industry: A Business Against Nature
Synopsis:
When 15 - 30% of the timber sold worldwide is thought to be illegal, how sustainable is the wood used in Ikea’s products? The company claims it only uses responsibly-sourced materials but - as this investigation reveals - some of their sub-contractors are pillaging Romania’s ancient forests. In Indonesia, APP plantations have caused widespread pollution. This investigation, filmed in Sweden, France, Romania and Indonesia, investigates the real cost of cheap wood.
Reviews:
"I work in the cabinet business. I have done a lot of research regarding the cheap import lumber. From every thing I've studied, and watched, this is the best. I became interested because of the price descrepancy between import and domestic wood products. Example 1/2" sheet of a-1 maple ply core from a mill in Oregon would cost me $ 65. Imported from China $28. The import stuff is poor quality, but it's insanely low price is particularly because of it being conflict lumber, or clear cutting in Siberia, Africa etc.. IKEA is as guilty as they come. Much of there lumber is harvested by north Korean slave Labor. There's a book called "cheap" and several videos by vice if you want to pursue this further. This was an excellent expose. The females in this movie were incredibly compitant journalists."

"This documentary contains important information on the global wood industry. Most of the western world is blind to the fact that many of our beloved products come at such a high cost to our environment! In the spirit of other documentaries such as Food Inc and the recent Rotten series, this film sheds light on the disheartening costs to our global forests, to our environment and ultimately to our health. I encourage everyone to watch this and share it. We need to spread the word. I only wish there was more to the film as it ends rather abruptly; needs a segment on other companies (domestic and global) that participate in illicit wood and paper production, corruption and deforestation practices as an umbrella whistleblower. Would like to see more info on companies and organizations which are doing good to currently help mitigate damage to our planet, to defend against future damage and destruction and to promote political and economic policy for change in an industry marred by deception, lobbyists, money hungry corporations and environmental disregard and disrespect."

This is also happening in Slovakia. I'm supportive of the forestry industry, wood is a great building material that can grow back but my issue is that the governments (not just just in Slovakia) aren't forcing these companies to plant new trees + in many cases, they cut trees in protected areas. Companies like IKEA don't care where exactly their wood comes from but on social media, they act as a ''sustainable company''

Every country in the world is pushing planting trees and letting them grow wild. A wild tree removes absolutely no CO2 in it's life time! As it dies and decomposes, it puts all of the CO2 back into the atmosphere. If we harvest them in their prime and make durable goods out of the wood, we can slow the process. But not throw away products

To be honest, low grade wood residues does not mean it doesn't come from large high quality timber, it means after processing the good heartwood into lumber boards and planks, about 10-30% of the log that is left is low quality wood residue which gets shredded and used etiher as biomass for heating pellets or for composite material such as particle boards. Chopping down trees in protected areas is horrible and should be punished but these journalists clearly did not do their homework and have no idea what they are talking about.

NIMBY (not in my backyard) people are a symptom of a societal sickness in the US, and other consumerist countries I'm sure. I'm a landscaper and I know what you mean.

Ikea furniture is trash. It looks decent when you first assemble it but after any moderate wear or having to move, the particle board falls apart and you have to go buy new furniture. Buy it once and pay more or buy it 6 times and keep throwing it out.

Lmao what do you do to your furniture? We've got numerous IKEA products that have lasted 20+ years and 4 moves. Not everything lasts, but I believe you're better off spending more on the stuff you use a lot (table/chairs, beds) and less on things you don't (bookshelves, end tables, organization tools, etc.).

While I do not agree with harvesting 200 year old trees for timber, the whole argument about using “solid wood” for particleboard is uninformed. When they say “ low grade wood”, that means low grade logs , I.e. “solid wood” logs that are low timber grade and not very useful for timber production because of defects in the wood like knots, not being straight, etc. Source: I am a forester with a degree in forestry and another in wildlife

There was a time when there was much less people on earth, and they were less demanding. I can't really imagine making solid wood furnitures for every family those days. Besides i don't know if you ever seen process of making solid wood furnitures and how much waste they produce. It is not only they demand hard wood trees (mostly leaf trees) like oak but also much older trees because wood need to be wide to be usable for that type of furnitures. Don't forget not every person will keep their furnitures for whole of their lives not because they are damaged os something but just because they wanna change something in their interior. And also no, today's day furnitures do not fall apart that easily as long as you don't hit them with a hammer or don't pay for them the same amount as bread cost.

In Poland the problem is caused in great part by the European Union. In my village an investor from the big city comes in. Clears 12ha of forest. Starts with the 100+ yo beech trees. Ends with the bushes and shrubs ground up for sale as biofuel. His reward? The land is now a farm field that is out of service and the EU will pay him 600zl/year. Nobody took inventory to check if land that says pasture or grazing does not actually look like a full blown old wood forest. If Poland leaves the EU in my area that would immediately double or triple the amount of forests. They pay pseudo farmers to prevent forestation and to maintain 10 cows.

I used to buy IKEA furniture - it was cheap, looked modern, could be transported home in the back of a car. It’s also generally junk - over the years everything I bought with the exception of a bed base (solid pine) and my CD racks (which are just about hanging on in there) fell apart. I’ve replaced just about everything I bought from IKEA with vintage 40s, 60s and 70s furniture. It’s all solid hardwood, and in re-using, I haven’t contributed to yet more deforestation. Yes, you’ll need a van when you move. But this is furniture I’ll never replace. You can even sand it all down and refinish it when it starts to look tired. Try that with MDF with a picture of some wood grain on it. Similarly, I had a solid pine kitchen bespoke made for my home - fancy a change? Re-paint it. Again, it’ll outlast me, unlike an MDF kitchen, which typically lasts around 20 yrs. I’ve even got some of grandparent’s 1940s and 50s furniture - it’s all still usable, and will outlast me. So why buy chipboard, or that junk cheap oak furniture they sell out of retail parks?

Exactly the problem that we are trying to solve. Furniture made using particleboard has a very bad reputation of not being reusable, i.e. typically it loses its structural integrity once it is assembled-dismantled-reassembled. Conversely, plywood displays better assembly-dismantling-reassembling characteristics; although plywood comes with its own set of problems like pesticide attack, environmental degradation, and most importantly higher initial cash outgo. Fortunately, we have invented a viable alternative; i.e. to make "plywood" using agrowaste. The "plywood" we have invented is an fully engineered product which is far superior to regular plywood, not only in terms of performance, but also is economical, terminate resistant etc. The icing on the cake is that it is made from agro-waste, which lock away huge quantity of carbon, and thereby only has a positive impact on the environment. Currently, we are in discussions with the Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India for securing funding for commercialisation of our engineered agro-plywood products. Hopefully, in the near future these high performance products will be available to you through companies such as Ikea who may opt to use our products instead of using low grade particleboard etc.

They could at least make proper furniture which would last decades rather than trashy chipboard crap out of those beautiful trees. If they planted new trees after logging it wouldn’t be quite as bad. But as it is, it’s just like all big business - greedy and destructive.

this forests in romania dont seem like vandalised. they cuted old wood to let young trees to grow and forest look kind of very ok to me. in bulgaria, they doing exactly same thing to get wood for heating, officially, and all money goes to local budgets. and forests looks same ok. show some catastrofic bad looking forest places first, to alarm the situatio

He says it’s lost forever. Lies. The trees you see that have been plated back will be back to full size in another 100-200 years. So to say it’s gone forever is an out right lie.

IKEA is shit and bad for a completely different reason ... Cheap furniture made from cheap materials don't last long. Real Wood furniture lasts forever. Buying crap that you have to rebuy every 5 to 10 years is just bad in every way.

Trees only regrow if they are replanted. Clear-cutting trees and not replanting does so much damage to the earth.

In the end, it's the consumer who causes the most damage. It's the food we eat, the fossil fuels we rely on, and the furniture we buy. This planet is going to be an oven. Perhaps when it's all said and done, we'll be lucky to have a worldwide population of one million. We deserve our future.

Oh right, they're ALWAYS blaming the consumer. Produce millions of tons of junk food, at high bliss points, with ads everywhere created by marketers who know how to brainwash us....but it's all the consumers fault when they eat the junk food, right? Lol

And - the totally pathetic woodchip furniture sold as the cheapest tier in Ikea - is "Garbage" - sad to see majestic trees chipped to make low value rubbish - so much better to make fewer higher valuable "durable goods"... (I experienced all this as far back as 20 years ago, I am sure little has improved recently NB, virtually "no" European forests can be described as "virgin" - there is no "old growth" forest in "civilised" Europe. (very few even in less developed spaces.

You imply that once that trees are cut that forests are gone forever. This is totally false. Trees grow back. Trees are weeds - they don't have to be planted or tended. New England USA once was denuded of forests by early American settlers. Yet today New England is oppressively overgrown with trees as far as the eye can see. Trees, trees, trees, everywhere you look. They even are growing over the roads in many places, causing hazards for motorists with falling branches (one fell on my car earlier this year)...

@@bberis1 Actually, the older a tree gets, the less carbon dioxide it consumes, like old people eating less and less food. Then guess what? When the tree dies in the forest, it eventually emits all of the carbon dioxide that it consumed in its lifetime. Or perhaps you never studied that in school...
