Should it ever become necessary many years in the future, almost the entire wood fire can be
recycled into new products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.
The
paint
coating on the wood fire is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Compounds)
is very low. VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing
process meets the latest air quality requirements regarding VOC reduction or elimination.
The
air tubes
are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.
The C-Cast
baffle
is made of aluminosilicate fibre material that is compressed with a binder
to form a rigid board. C-Cast can withstand temperatures above 2,000 °F. It is not considered
hazardous waste. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
The firebrick
is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, a product processed
from a mined mineral. It is most commonly found in nature in the form of sand and clay. Disposal
at a landfill is recommended.
The door and glass
gaskets
are fibreglass which is spun from melted sand. Black gaskets have
been dipped into a solvent-free solution. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
The door
glass
is a 4 mm thick ceramic material that contains no toxic chemicals. It is made
of natural raw materials such as sand and quartz that are combined in such a way to form a
high temperature glass. Ceramic glass cannot be recycled in the same way as normal glass,
so it should not be disposed of with your regular household products. Disposal at a landfill is
recommended.
