23How to identify wood products that are sustainably sourced</h1><p class="m-0"><i class="fas fa-calendar pr-2"></i>08 April 2024</p><p class="m-0"><i class="fas fa-user pr-2"></i>Emma Lucey</p><hr><p>When shopping for wood furniture, wooden utensils or even products made from paper – like books, it’s important to question whether it comes from a sustainable source. It’s not just about buying a beautiful wooden piece, but ensuring that piece helps protect the forests of the world and the human and animal communities that rely on them. </p><p>

25First off, why does it matter? Purchasing sustainably sourced wood products supports responsible forest management, combats deforestation and protects biodiversity. Certification is key here, as it indicates whether the wood used to create a product has been harvested from a sustainably managed forest where harvested trees are regrown or replanted. Luckily, there a few simple indicators to look out for when searching for the perfect wooden cutting board or a stylish set of deck chairs to ensure you’re buying responsible wood products. 
26 </p><p>
27In Australia, forest managers and owners certify their forest either under the <a href="https://anz.fsc.org/what-can-be-fsc-certified"><u>Forest Stewardship Council</u></a> (FSC) certification or the <a href="https://www.responsiblewood.org.au/"><u>Responsible Wood</u></a> Certification Scheme. Wood and wood-based products sourced from certified forests are tracked through the supply chain using chain-of-custody certification provided by both forest certification schemes. </p><p>

29</p><p></p><p>FSC certification assures extensive biodiversity protections and protection of workers&#39; rights while also requiring companies that use the FSC label to be truthful and clear about sustainability claims, guarding against greenwashing and upholding integrity. Typically, FSC-certified products are easy to identify – you&#39;ve probably seen the logo before or own something at home that features it (it’s even on clothing or other everyday items such as tissues). Unlabelled products can be determined FSC-certified by sourcing from a certified supplier or by checking for a valid certificate using the <a href="https://search.fsc.org/en/"><u>online database</u></a>. </p><p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CXkaxI9FJSZ/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:250px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:16px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CXkaxI9FJSZ/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style=" background:#FFFFFF; line-height:0; padding:0 0; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; width:100%;" target="_blank"> <div style=" display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style=" background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display:block; height:50px; margin:0 auto 12px; width:50px;"><svg width="50px" height="50px" viewBox="0 0 60 60" version="1.1" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g transform="translate(-511.000000, -20.000000)" fill="#000000"><g><path d="M556.869,30.41 C554.814,30.41 553.148,32.076 553.148,34.131 C553.148,36.186 554.814,37.852 556.869,37.852 C558.924,37.852 560.59,36.186 560.59,34.131 C560.59,32.076 558.924,30.41 556.869,30.41 M541,60.657 C535.114,60.657 530.342,55.887 530.342,50 C530.342,44.114 535.114,39.342 541,39.342 C546.887,39.342 551.658,44.114 551.658,50 C551.658,55.887 546.887,60.657 541,60.657 M541,33.886 C532.1,33.886 524.886,41.1 524.886,50 C524.886,58.899 532.1,66.113 541,66.113 C549.9,66.113 557.115,58.899 557.115,50 C557.115,41.1 549.9,33.886 541,33.886 M565.378,62.101 C565.244,65.022 564.756,66.606 564.346,67.663 C563.803,69.06 563.154,70.057 562.106,71.106 C561.058,72.155 560.06,72.803 558.662,73.347 C557.607,73.757 556.021,74.244 553.102,74.378 C549.944,74.521 548.997,74.552 541,74.552 C533.003,74.552 532.056,74.521 528.898,74.378 C525.979,74.244 524.393,73.757 523.338,73.347 C521.94,72.803 520.942,72.155 519.894,71.106 C518.846,70.057 518.197,69.06 517.654,67.663 C517.244,66.606 516.755,65.022 516.623,62.101 C516.479,58.943 516.448,57.996 516.448,50 C516.448,42.003 516.479,41.056 516.623,37.899 C516.755,34.978 517.244,33.391 517.654,32.338 C518.197,30.938 518.846,29.942 519.894,28.894 C520.942,27.846 521.94,27.196 523.338,26.654 C524.393,26.244 525.979,25.756 528.898,25.623 C532.057,25.479 533.004,25.448 541,25.448 C548.997,25.448 549.943,25.479 553.102,25.623 C556.021,25.756 557.607,26.244 558.662,26.654 C560.06,27.196 561.058,27.846 562.106,28.894 C563.154,29.942 563.803,30.938 564.346,32.338 C564.756,33.391 565.244,34.978 565.378,37.899 C565.522,41.056 565.552,42.003 565.552,50 C565.552,57.996 565.522,58.943 565.378,62.101 M570.82,37.631 C570.674,34.438 570.167,32.258 569.425,30.349 C568.659,28.377 567.633,26.702 565.965,25.035 C564.297,23.368 562.623,22.342 560.652,21.575 C558.743,20.834 556.562,20.326 553.369,20.18 C550.169,20.033 549.148,20 541,20 C532.853,20 531.831,20.033 528.631,20.18 C525.438,20.326 523.257,20.834 521.349,21.575 C519.376,22.342 517.703,23.368 516.035,25.035 C514.368,26.702 513.342,28.377 512.574,30.349 C511.834,32.258 511.326,34.438 511.181,37.631 C511.035,40.831 511,41.851 511,50 C511,58.147 511.035,59.17 511.181,62.369 C511.326,65.562 511.834,67.743 512.574,69.651 C513.342,71.625 514.368,73.296 516.035,74.965 C517.703,76.634 519.376,77.658 521.349,78.425 C523.257,79.167 525.438,79.673 528.631,79.82 C531.831,79.965 532.853,80.001 541,80.001 C549.148,80.001 5

31Organisations certified under the Responsible Wood Certification ensure sustainable forestry practices in Australia while responsibly harvesting and managing forest products for the long term. Responsible Wood is a not-for-profit and is the Australian body recognised under the <a href="https://www.pefc.org/"><u>Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification</u></a> (PEFC). The <a href="https://www.pefc.org/"><u>PEFC label</u></a> is another label that is globally recognised and one to look out for. To verify if a company or product is Responsible Wood certified, they also have a searchable <a href="https://www.responsiblewood.org.au/what-you-can-do/find-certified/"><u>database.</u></a> </p><p></p><p>If you’re still unsure of a wood products origin or certification, ask the brand directly before purchase. Always remember that sourcing something second-hand is another option that reduces consumption of new products and diverts items from landfill. And that reduces our consumption of water, energy, fuel, natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions! </p><p>
32 
33Products made from recycled or reclaimed wood also promotes resource conservation. Recycled wood is salvaged from demolished houses, old buildings, sheds, factories, warehouses, wharves, boats and other wood products. It is available from specialist wood suppliers, second-hand building material outlets, larger demolition companies and demolition sites. The FSC also has a ‘recycled’ label to keep an eye out for when buying wood products.  </p><p>
34 
35Trees release oxygen as they grow, absorb carbon dioxide and retain carbon after harvest for the life of the product. If you’re able to source wood that has been certified, you’re choosing a material that is not only renewable, but has had a positive impact on the environment during its production (as the tree grows), unlike many other materials such as concrete or plastic. Next time you shop, keep an eye out for certified wood logos and rest assured you’re shopping sustainably.  </p><hr><div class="row my-5"><div class="col-md-2"><img class="img-fluid ellipse" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/fqjwh0badmlx/6FHh8ZwMgVU3ZNF7Cv1hUK/2c337d7d5d3185b309451d32557f7746/MicrosoftTeams-image__47_.jpeg?q=50&amp;w=400&amp;h=400&amp;fit=fill&amp;fm=jpg" alt="Photo of the author: Emma Lucey"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h5 class="tertiary">Emma Lucey</h5><p>Emma is a Sydney-based digital media and communications specialist.
