| Environmental remarks | Angelique is domently imported from Surinam and Guyana where it is extracted from the tropical rain forest. Deforestation of tropical wood causes serious local environmental problems and is possibly related to the climate change in the world. The transport to the Netherlands requires 2 * 250km by trailers (from factory to forest and back) and 7559km by ship. The processing to beams is done in Surianam and Guyana. | |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
