Eco Design Wood Burners
It is worth remembering that wood is a renewable resource and much better for our planet than gas or oil (or electricity when it is created by a coal-fuelled power station).
Eco Design is a new standard of stove design that substantially reduces the particulates added to our atmosphere by the burning of wood. This is 80%+ less so than an open fire (open fires and vehicles are the biggest polluters in cities and NOT modern wood stoves.
From 2022 wood burning stoves not approved as “Ecodesign” will not be able to be sold. The law is not retrospective so all stoves sold before this date are still legal.
The latest eco stoves really are more efficient and better for our planet than previous designs and that, for many, is all they desire to know.
