What are the differences in carbon sequestration between rattan and wood pots?
Carbon sequestration is a critical process in mitigating climate change, and the choice of planters can influence this. Rattan pots, made from fast-growing vines, have a lower carbon footprint during production compared to wood pots, which often require slower-growing trees. However, wood pots generally store more carbon over their lifespan due to their density and durability. Rattan decomposes faster, releasing carbon sooner, while wood retains it longer. Both materials are eco-friendly, but wood pots may offer better long-term carbon storage, whereas rattan is more sustainable in the short term. Choosing between them depends on your gardening goals and environmental priorities.
