SCA Timber (UK) Ltd has published an eight-page guide designed to improve buyers’ understanding of ‘sustainability’ and its application to timber and wood products.
The guide covers ‘official’ sustainability definitions and how to trace the origins of sustainable softwoods and hardwoods.
Entitled ‘Searching for Sustainable Timber?’, the guide also covers timber certification systems and gives sources of information for further research ranging from government to NGOs. Copies can be obtained by calling SCA on 01724 784784.
