Any company that works with wood products knows how important it is to be socially aware of what impact their trade has on deforestation and the environment. At TMA Bark, we take this responsibility very seriously and as such, aim to ensure that the majority of our products are FSC certified.
This sounds great, but what does it actually mean?
What is the FSC?
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) was set up in California in 1990 by a group of people that were concerned about the rate of deforestation. All members were involved in some way with either the timber or the environmental market in some way and they set about work highlighting the need for
‘A system that could credibly identify well-managed forests as sources of responsibly produced wood products’
And that is exactly what they did. The FSC continually promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world’s forests.
So what does it mean to be FSC Certified?
Being FSC Certified means that when you buy an eligible TMA Bark wood product, you can rest assured that you are buying a product that has been produced following the highest social and environmental standards. Every step of the process is compliant with a set of rules and regulations that ensure that as a company we are always thinking about the environment and our impact upon it.
Why Buy an FSC Certified Product?
The FSC label allows customers to recognise that the product they are purchasing came from a sustainable source and has not been illegally harvested. All of TMA barks products listed as FSC Certified from our Premium Range right through to our biomass products, are from FSC mixed sources at a minimum of 70%. You can buy our products knowing that you are now also part of the FSC vision and are doing your bit to help protect the environment.
