Manage episode 407124199 series 3557966
Forest and wood products can be found in every aspect of our lives, from the tissues on your desk to the packaging of your groceries, and of course in various forms throughout the built environment. As we leverage the sustainability benefits of wood fibre in the transition to a more environmentally friendly future it is going to be become more and more important that the growth and harvesting of this wood fibre is done in an ethical, sustainable, and responsible way.
Enter Responsible Wood, the organisation managing the PEFC certification in Australia.
This week Joe and Laurence catch up with Matt DeJongh from Responsible Wood who expertly explains what Responsible Wood and PEFC do, what sustainable forestry actually looks like, and what designers and specifiers need to know to make sure you're specifying nature's ultimate renewable in a responsible way.
