♻️ What is ecological firewood?

Ecological firewood comes from sustainable forest management, where every tree cut down is replaced by new plantations 🌲.
This ensures a balance between energy use and forest conservation.
In addition, ecological wood usually has a low moisture content, which improves efficiency and reduces smoke emissions.

👉 If you’re looking for efficiency, also check out which type of firewood produces the most heat in your fireplace.


🌳 Most common types of ecological firewood in Mallorca

In Mallorca, we find native and Mediterranean species that — besides being very calorific — can be considered ecological when harvested responsibly:

  • Holm oak: dense wood with high calorific value and slow combustion 🔥
  • Almond tree: pleasant aroma and long-lasting burn 🌰
  • Olive tree: clean combustion and great performance 🫒
  • Pine: ideal for kindling and small stoves (though it contains more resin) 🌲

💡 Tip: always choose certified local suppliers — this reduces your transport footprint and supports the island’s economy.

Using ecological firewood not only benefits the planet but also your wallet and your home:

  1. 🌿 Reduces pollutant emissions.
  2. 💰 Saves energy compared to fossil fuels.
  3. 🔥 Cleaner and longer-lasting combustion.
