Leaf Log Eco Logs

The Leaf Log® eco-logs consist purely of dried leaves which have been gathered from parks and other locations around the West Midlands, this product will burn for up three hours independently. Nothing needs to die for this product to exist and each year nature provides us with an abundance of leaves.

Typically, dead leaves are dumped in masses in landfills and one of the problems with leaving wet leaves to decompose like this is that they give off methane (a 20 times more poisonous gas than carbon dioxide). In contrast, when leaves are burnt, they only give off the carbon they absorb while on the tree – they add nothing extra to the environment.
Leaf Log® eco-logs do not cost more to the end user than any other manufactured heat log. When the cost of the coal plus the additional requirements such as firelighters and kindling are added on, Leaf Log® eco-logs are in line with other fuels in price comparisons.

Test results of Leaf Log® provided a net calorific value of 27,840 kj per kg proving that Leaf Log® burns as hot as coal and 3 times longer than wood (weight for weight).

Leaf Log® was nationally recognised as a carbon saving and innovative product by Shell UK at the Shell Springboard finals on 21st February 2008 in Manchester.
