t's always been fascinating to see that factories in China often use wood imported from faraway places like Russia, the United States, New Zealand, and Canada instead of wood from their own backyard.
This isn't just happening in China, though. In Mexico, for example, they used to get most of their fiberboards from China, the United States, and Brazil because they didn't have a strong industry of their own.
Shipping raw materials across the world and then getting them back as finished products just doesn't seem to make sense. It's not very efficient, and it's not good for the environment either. Shouldn't we be encouraging companies to use the resources their vendors have nearby? Sure, there are big-picture economic and political reasons for things being the way they are, but we can do better. When we buy things from other countries, we should adapt to their local resources and ways of doing things, creating a kind of "local globalization" in manufacturing.
For a greener and more sustainable future, businesses and governments should work together to support the use of local resources and help grow industries in their own countries. This way, we can cut down on the pollution caused by transportation and give local economies a boost, all while celebrating the unique skills and traditions of each region. By adopting a "local globalization" mindset, we can work together to create a more efficient, eco-friendly, and diverse manufacturing world that benefits everyone.
