Yep, you read that right! According to Duraflame, burning a Duraflame log is greener than burning good, old-fashioned wood. Here's why. Compared to wood fires, a Duraflame log burning for 3-4 hours requires 80% fewer resources than burning wood for the same duration while emiting 80% less fine particulate matter and 75% less carbon monoxide.The petroleum wax that used to make up Duraflames has been replaced with wax from 100% renewable resources. According to Duraflame, they have replaced 320,000 tons of carbon emissions from fossil fuels with 320,000 tons of carbon emissions from renewable resources.
