Increation say NO to endangered Tropical Hardwoods! And SUPPORT responsible stewardship of the world’s forests.
date posted 26/03/2008Increation only buy from FSC certified forest products suppliers who support environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economic viable management of the world's forests. By buying from certified sources we are providing an incentive for responsible forest management.
Increation work with suppliers such as Alpi, who are renowned for their environmental sensitivity. Alpi are suppliers of decorative wood veneer products, and are constantly strengthening their environmental policies to ensure sustainable economic development. Alpi are partnering the TFT – a non profit charity seeking to transform the international trade in tropical timber and timber products into a force for forest conservation.
The trade in tropical hardwoods is one of the main reasons for the destruction of the rainforests. Increation refuse to buy any tropical hardwood, unless it has been grown sustainably, (often in special plantations) by checking to see if the furniture has a certificate of 'sustainable forest management' such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) logo.
Please speak to our designers about the woods we use and the alternatives available to endangered timber.
