The Application of Recycling
The recycled and biodegradable materials used in the manufacture of our range are briefly explained below:
FSC Certified Wood
It is imperative that the world¹s forests meet the social, ecological and economic rights and needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations. This can only be done by responsible forest management and finding solutions to the problems created by bad forestry practices.
The Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent, non-governmental, non profit-making organisation which was set up for this very reason. It has offices in more than 46 countries and provides standard setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services for companies and organisations who are interested in responsible forestry.
FSC certification is growing worldwide, strongly driven by a demand for FSC certified timber and non-timber products. The Forestry Stewardship Council award covers ³ Chain of Custody² which means that the products can be traced back to the original forest of origin and are guaranteed to be from sustainable sources, complying with ethically produced best practice.
A product bearing the FSC seal originates from a well-managed forest. To ensure that the forest management meets the FSC principles and criteria, independent certifying bodies inspect the forests. They not only inspect the management plans, but also perform onsite audits, ensuring that FSC's principles and criteria are being complied with.
FSC accreditation assures compliance with the highest social and environmental standards on the market. FSC is the only globally valid standard and has the highest social and environmental requirements in the forestry sector. FSC certification offers forest managers rewards for managing their forests the FSC way following the highest social and environmental criteria there are.
To ensure that a product originates from an FSC forest, the entire Chain of Custody (CoC) is monitored, from forest to end product. This ensures the socially minded consumer that a purchase of FSC certified timber is indeed coming from a responsibly managed forest. FSC has an excellent brand image, widespread support and a significant market share.
It is the fastest growing forest certification system in the world and to be able to display the FSC is testimony to continuing the campaign for environmentally friendly solutions and the fight against the destruction of protected forests.

200 years ago, almost all paper came from recycled products such as cotton and linen rags. The use of trees as the basic raw material only dates from about 1850.
