Grovil Woodcraft Philippines turns its wood waste into a usable Charcoal Briquette

noreply@blogger.com (Grovil Woodcraft Inc.) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 09:27:00 +0000

Grovil has recently entered the development of wasted wood materials into a usable product, the Charcoal Briquette.

Compared to other Charcoal Products, Grovil Charcoal Briquette's are more environment friendly, cleaner and neater than regular charcoal, Burns longer, less smokey and package well. This products are as affordable as your regular Charcoal products you buy in the Market today. With Grovil's charcoal you get more for your money's worth. How cost saving is this?? With just a few rounds you can already create enough heat to cook rice in a kalan. This is favorable to some people who rather use charcoal instead of gas or electricity to save in financing.

Our charcoal can also be use for different heating purposes. One example of this is the use of our charcoal by one client for his Hog farm's heating incubator.

Grovil charcoal is also proud to be very environment friendly. Unlike the regular charcoal which come from cut trees from the mountain, our charcoal come from waste products. We help in the prevention of greenhouse effect, climate change and the long term natural disasters that can come after.

With our charcoal, we conserve more energy, save you more money but create in you more productivity.

Our 1 kilo charcoal cost P20.00. You can buy in bulk at P150.00/ 10kg.

We are open for dealership.....please call us at (02)4030663 look for Linda or Martin.

Charcoal Briquette article on Philippine Star

Beat the energy crisis
(The Philippine Star) Updated August 02, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Help beat the energy crisis. Use charcoal briquettes.

“Charcoal briquettes are a mixture of charcoal and starch molded under pressure,” explained the Los Baños-based Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI).

“Made of charcoal powder recycled from charcoal wastes, briquettes are 50 percent cheaper than liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). They are also more cost-effective than wood charcoal as they burn longer and more steadily while emitting very little smoke,” said FPRDI officer-in-charge Felix B. Tamolang.

Citing results of FPRDI studies, Tamolang pointed out that briquettes are ideal fuel for many Filipinos as, unlike LPG, they do not have to be bought in bulk. They come in small packs well within a daily wage earner’s budget.

He added: “Aside from homes and restaurants, charcoal briquettes may also be used in poultries and bakeries. Quality briquettes sell well abroad, especially in Europe, the United States, Japan, Korea, and Malaysia.”

For cooperatives and businessmen who want to go into charcoal briquetting, FPRDI has developed a simple, manually operated machine that can produce 2,400 kilos of briquettes a month.

FPRDI engineer Belen B. Bisana computed that producing 2,400 kilos of coconut shell briquettes a month needs an investment of about P61,000. This covers equipment and tools, raw materials, labor, and packaging material.

“Our studies show that charcoal briquetting is a profitable enterprises,” she said, as reported by Rizalina K. Araral of FPRDI.

Locally, the best material to use are coconut shell charcoal wastes, as they have the highest heating value, although sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, coconut husk, and pili shell charcoal wastes are also good alternatives.

Also involved in the FPRDI charcoal briquetting project are engineers Punte Palmano and Allan Bondad and Norma Torreta.

In a recent Cabinet meeting, President Gloria Arroyo ordered several government agencies, among them DOST, National Housing Authority (NHA), and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to implement a charcoal briquetting program that will showcase the FPRDI project’s viability, especially in the provinces.

“For several years now, a family corporation in Nabunturan, Compostela Valley, has been successfully producing charcoal briquettes which are exported to Japan,” Bisana reported. – Rudy A. Fernandez

Mug Trees, Mug Trees and More Mug Trees

noreply@blogger.com (Grovil Woodcraft Inc.) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:16:00 +0000

Mug Trees!! Mug Trees!!, Mug trees!! This are the products that started our companies local Market. Grovil Woodcraft Philippines started with a 100% export market but due to the Asian economic crisis of 1999, we had to find ways to make more sales by selling through our local Market. The year 1999 was the time that Grovil came up with the mug tree. During those times, it was a very popular item sold from manufacturing countries like China, Vietnam and Thailand, because of this Grovil decided to have a piece of the market share. The company didn't want to compete with China through exporting, instead Grovil decided that it would just compete for a bigger piece of the Filipino Market. With that, local companies would rather stick with buying our brand instead of importing from China with the risk of a higher cost and damages.

From that time until the present, Grovil Woodcraft Philippines has distributed its Mug trees through different local departments stores like Rustan's, The Landmark, SM Shoemart, Metro Gaisano, Ever Gotesco Mall, Isetann, True Value and a whole lot of other small stores, networks and agents. From Mug trees our products had evolved to different wooden kitchenware lines. The companies kitchenware items are now consist of Banana Holders, Plate Racks, Bread Boxes, Wooden Spoon Sets, Cutlery Trays, Knife Blocks, Chopping Boards etc.

Grovil's Mug Trees comes in different sizes and designs. The mug Tree consist of 4 peg mug trees, 6 peg mug trees, 8 peg mug Trees and 12 peg mug trees. We also have different colors, we have Natural, Brownish, Black and White. The company also designs the wooden mug tree with buri and seagrass. We could also have this mug trees custom made to your own liking. You could pick your design , color and other specifications.

The Price range for this Mug Trees is P80.00-P300.00 Philippine peso depending on design and material. In dollars, Its range is from $1.50-$7.00.
