Wood suppliers often make claims that their products come from "managed" or "sustainable" forests, but without independent certification, there is no way to really know. Increasingly, such claims are used as a marketing ploy to "greenwash" material that came from destructive forestry practices. Thats why its important to buy certified wood, BUT. . .
The fact that a wood product is "certified" does not mean that it comes from an ecologically-well managed forest. There are now various types of forest certification (see below), and most do not have meaningful environmental standards, enforcement mechanisms, or methods of tracking the wood through the supply chain to keep out illegally-logged material and prevent misrepresentation..
The Eco Friendly Flooring Guide provides a thorough overview of health issues as they relate to wood flooring, as well as sustainability in forestry, logging, and the hardwood flooring industry generally. The Guide reviews the importance of supply chain and sources for eco friendly floors, FSC certification and LEED credits, environmental issues, wood treatments and finishes, wood flooring installation, and what to look for in sustainable wood flooring products.
