A significant factor regarding climate change is the destruction of the world’s forests due to unsustainable deforestation. From construction to home decor, wood and other forest-based materials are widely used across the world, and that is why it is important that these materials are sourced from sustainable sources so natural environments are not harmed.
Many of us recognise and know of the FSC label, but what is it specifically and what does it mean for deciding which wooden garden furniture to purchase?
The Forest Stewardship Council®
The Forest Stewardship Council, commonly known as FSC, is an internationally recognised non-profit organisation and labeling system for wood, paper, and other forest-based materials.
The FSC label is your assurance that the wood and forest-based materials used in the product originate from well-managed, FSC-certified forests and other controlled sources. Learn more about FSC here.
