| Environmental remarks | Larch is dominantly imported from Northern America, where it is cultured. The transport to the Netherlands requires 250km vice versa forest-harbour by trailers and 6200km by ship. The annual production is between 4 - 12 m3/ha/y (average 7) depending on specie and region, at a growth cycle of 60 years. | |

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.
