One of the most common usages of wood is in the global furniture sector. This is not surprising; wood is a beautiful, warm, easy to work with and, if properly sourced, renewable. Added to this, innovation in wood technology and design processes are opening up pathways to new uses for wood. All these factors therefore combine to make wood a major part of total furniture sales worldwide.
This situation, of course, is not without its challenges. As demand for furniture and wood products increases, driven by growing wealth in emerging economies, among others, ensuring that the wood used by the furniture industry is obtained from sustainable sources is more important than ever.
PEFC's new publication, Certified Wood Solutions for the Furniture Sector, has been produced with these considerations in mind. A brochure aimed at the furniture manufacturing industry, this document seeks to highlight the importance of sustainably sourced wood and wood-based products for the sector.
Certified Wood Solutions for the Furniture Sector has been written for furniture makers and members of related industry sectors, as well as other interested parties.
