The use of FSC-certified wood is becoming more and more prevalent.
Where do the products we buy come from? How are they made and what impact do they have on our planet?
These are some of the questions asked when buying a certain product; it is this information that plays a key role in the purchasing decisions not only of the consumer but also of the company itself. So let’s see how choosing to use FSC-certified wood can answer these questions (and many others).
In recent years, there has been a growing sensibility and interest in issues related to environmental protection; consequently, there has been an increased focus on the materials that are used for products, such as wood, which is considered the sustainable material of excellence.
What is FSC-certified wood?
Through FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, which represents the main mechanism to guarantee the origin of wood or paper, ProduceShop has also decided to make its
commitment to the environment and eco-sustainability known. How? By supporting its manufacturers and suppliers, who thus guarantee the origin and reliability of the raw material; as well as contributing to the growth of the market for sustainable products, of course.
FSC labels tell what is really behind every single product, its history and its journey, which starts with the procurement of the wood. This is a complex task that must be carried out with the utmost care to ensure that the final product has been made from materials of forest origin and therefore managed in a sustainable manner. The forest management standards of FSC certification for forest protection can be summarised as follows: protection of water quality, prohibition of ancient forest felling, prevention of the loss of natural forest cover, prohibition of the use of toxic chemicals, constant monitoring of the number of trees that are cut in the forests from which the wood comes.
As a company operating in the furniture and do-it-yourself sector, we aim to guide customers towards an increasingly conscious purchase and to offer, for their projects, a product whose wood comes from certified forests, guaranteeing ecological processes. FSC certification helps consumers to understand the risks of deforestation, forest degradation and illegal logging, which are just some of the factors affecting climate change.
To conclude
The decision to support companies certified with the FSC label marks the beginning of a journey.
At ProduceShop, we have decided to do this in order to guarantee consumers products made with respect for the environment, together with the high quality that has always distinguished our work. An important position that fully reflects the social responsibility that is part of our corporate philosophy, for genuine sustainable development.
