As a company
we are committed to sourcing our range of products from legal and
well managed, sustainable forest resources. We will collaborate with
all relevant parties both within the United Kingdom and overseas to
ensure compliance with, and to promote good forest management.
We are members of "Forest
Forever" – the environmental division of the
Timber Trade Federation working to safeguard the world's forests and
future timber supplies. For example we are now concentrating heavily
on Chinese production of the tropical hardwood faced Poplar plywood
consisting of a combination of Chinese plantation Poplar core material
and imported tropical hardwood face and back. The graph detailed below
clearly demonstrates and compares the high content of plantation Poplar
compared to the relatively low content of tropical hardwood in each
individual thickness.
We are also making further advances in respect of plywood manufactured
in China using 100% indigenous plantation species comprising Poplar
cores with either Poplar or Birch face and back.
