Seeing the Trees
Identifying eco-friendly wood furniture
Saturday, September 06, 2008
Choosing eco-friendlier furniture just got a little easier.
The Sustainable Furniture Council has launched a new label to identify products that help maintain healthy forests. SFC members include furniture manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, and environmental groups. The new label signifies that the entire supply chain, from forest to showroom floor is environmentally and socially responsible.
Sustainably made furniture reduces carbon emissions through responsible forestry operations and manufacturing, combats deforestation through selective logging and replanting, and deters illegal logging by providing a market for sustainable raw materials.
