Does Accoya use sustainable timber, and how can timber be sourced sustainably?
Accoya wood is made from FSC® certified pine. The species we use is high-yielding and grows at a rapid pace, making it an ideal sustainable timber for our process because it’s an easy-to-renew material. Illegal logging causes strain across many wood species, with tropical hardwoods particularly feeling this negative impact due to its slow growth. However, because we source from New Zealand – a country with strict policies around deforestation – we’re confident in the sustainability credentials of the timber.
Enhanced visibility through the supply chain helps us trace timber back to the forest it was grown in, and with forestry managers adhering to FSC ® standards, sustainability is maintained throughout the supply chain.
