Eco-Friendly STIHL Products: Sustainable Solutions for Your Garden

Many of us enjoy having a backyard garden that is rich with plants, flowers, and grass. However, the tools we use to keep it healthy and growing should be eco-friendly in order to decrease our carbon footprint and maintain a balanced ecosystem.  

Fortunately, STIHL has all the products you need to make the transition starting from stihl chainsaw to stihl leaf blower to keep you on your environmental journey.

From Fossil Fuels to Renewable Resources

Through the years and decades, fossil fuels have been essential for most industrial equipment and overall economic growth.

Fossil fuels are derived from oil and coal, which have taken millions of years to form from organic material that has decomposed and become pressurized. These materials are dependent on the constant pressure from the changing environment. However, they will not last forever.

Luckily, recent technological innovations are now focusing on renewable resources. These resources are not only renewable, but they are also eco-friendly as they do not release toxins and impurities into the air and atmosphere.

The Changing Landscaping Tool Market

Hand tools have been around for a very long time, including, for example, trimming shears, rotary grass-cutting mowers, and handsaws of different lengths and widths to cut the smallest branches and the oldest trees.

Many of these tools are still used to a certain degree, but the evolution of technology has led to chainsaws, mowers, and trimmers with small engines. While rudimentary in the beginning, these engines evolved into more fuel-efficient models with larger horsepower.

Now, we are looking toward the future again and exploring battery and electric options. These tools are proving to rival their engine counterparts, but are actually more eco-friendly such as the stihl chainsaw and the stihl leaf blower

Gas and Battery-Powered Tools

Gas-powered tools need regular maintenance, refuelling, and lubrication. While they can efficiently carry out their tasks with relative ease and make light work of anything thrown in their way, they are loud and emit emissions that are harmful to the environment.

Lithium batteries are created using lithium that is specifically mined and refined. These batteries hold a considerable amount of power, allowing them to work for longer periods before they need to be recharged. 

Lithium battery-powered machines and tools are quieter and do not produce any emissions, therefore benefiting the environment. Such machines and tools are quite powerful. The output that battery-operated tools produce easily matches that of their gas-powered counterparts.

For smaller garden spaces, the corded electric-powered tools can provide a safe and environmentally sound alternative to large gas-powered trimmers and lawnmowers.

Complete with all the safety features you would expect from STIHL products, and with the environment in mind, the corded electric-powered options are quiet and efficient when compared to traditional gas-powered tools.

While electric-powered tools are limited by the length of their cords, any small landscaped area can be kept pristine and healthy with these environmentally sound options.

Landscaping Tools for the Traditionalist

Of course, you can still reach out and grab your gas-powered small engine for your landscaping tasks. STIHL has developed amazing technologies for smaller gas engines. Thus, with these new engines, you will produce lower emissions, quieter noise levels, and still have all the power you need. 

These modern, environmentally friendly tools are lightweight (even when filled with gas), and include many standard safety features at your fingertips.

Lubrication and the Environment

Any small engine or tool that has moving parts needs to be lubricated. This allows the parts to move without damaging the engine, provides uninterrupted power and performance, and keeps the machine working for longer periods overall.

Unfortunately, lubricants are typically made from fossil fuels. In fact, some oils and grease are created as by-products of gas and diesel.

Currently, alternative options are being explored. These options involve biodegradable lubricants that are considerably less harmful to the environment, but can still deliver high-quality results in protecting an engine’s moving parts.

Since quality and durability are firmly in the forefront of STIHL designs, nothing will be lost with this new technology for safer lubricants and oils. With these new designs, you can expect the same quality and performance, and they may even outperform your current expectations.

The “Caring for Nature” Seal

At STIHL Inc., the “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its machine-powered products and oils that are more environmentally conscious. For machine-powered items, the seal signifies that they produce zero or low exhaust emissions.

The STIHL website defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards. For oils, the seal means that they are “highly biodegradable, degrading by 80 percent or more within 21 days.”

STIHL has created its innovative products in order to provide gardeners and landscapers with eco-friendly solutions to help preserve and protect our fragile environment. Indeed, the range of eco-friendly solutions is growing and is comparable to the traditional tools of yesteryear.
