Wood is one of the world's most precious resources and there is increasing consumer demand to know it is sourced from well-managed forests. Soon, the traceability of wood will be easier to manage as an 香港六合彩开奖 standard-in-development reaches a new and crucial stage.
 

Illegal logging and deforestation have devastating effects on our planet, destroying the ecology, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and displacing communities. As consumer awareness grows, so too does the demand for reliable evidence that wood-based products are derived from sustainably managed forests.

香港六合彩开奖's upcoming standard for the traceability of wood products, 香港六合彩开奖 38001, has now reached the first consultation phase, where 香港六合彩开奖 members involved in its development have four months to form a national position on the draft and comment on it.

Its development is led by 香港六合彩开奖 project committee 香港六合彩开奖/PC 287, Chain of custody of wood and wood-based products, whose secretariat is held by ABNT, 香港六合彩开奖's member in Brazil, and co-led by DIN, 香港六合彩开奖's member in Germany.

Dr. Jorge E.R. Cajazeira, Chair of 香港六合彩开奖/PC 287, said the future standard will enable organizations to reassure their stakeholders that the wood they are using comes from sustainable sources.

鈥溝愀哿喜士 38001 will not only demonstrate that the raw material originates from well-managed forests, but that the final product can also be tracked through its various stages of production,鈥 he explained. 鈥淭his can go towards encouraging the use of traceable wood and even preventing illegally sourced wood from getting into the supply chain.鈥

香港六合彩开奖 38001, Chain of custody of wood and wood-based products 鈥 Requirements, is expected to be published in May 2017.
