In today's world, where environmental consciousness and responsible consumption are becoming increasingly important, the question of the origin of the wood used to make furniture is becoming particularly significant. This is why FSC certification is becoming increasingly popular in the furniture industry.
What is FSC?
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council®) is an international non-profit organization founded in 1993 with the aim of promoting responsible forest management worldwide. FSC has developed a certification system that guarantees that the wood used to make products comes from legal and environmentally managed forests.
Why is it important to choose furniture with FSC certification?
- Environmental friendliness: FSC certification guarantees that the forests from which the wood is harvested do not harm the environment. This means that the needs of the ecosystem and the rights of local people are taken into account when harvesting wood.
- Responsibility: FSC certification confirms that the furniture manufacturer adheres to ethical business practices and cares about its employees.
- Quality: FSC-certified wood is a guarantee of high quality. It undergoes rigorous checks at all stages of production, from harvesting to furniture manufacturing.
MIRT: Furniture with FSC certification
MIRT is proud to announce that all of our furniture is made from FSC-certified wood. This means that by choosing MIRT furniture, you are making a conscious choice in favor of the environment and responsible consumption.
Key FSC labels are divided into 3 types:
- FSC 100%:
A product with the FSC 100% label means that 100% of the raw materials used in the product, including wood, paper, and other forest products, come from certified forests managed by FSC, ensuring legal harvesting and sustainable operations, and publishes 10 principles of forest management for implementing the management mechanism. The label is often used on furniture, paper products, or building materials and allows consumers to understand the environmental impact of the products they buy.
- FSC Recycled:
All paper and wood in products must contain at least 85% recycled material, which can be broken down and recycled into new products, reducing potential waste and the environmental impact of logging. The label also helps consumers choose paper and paper products made from recycled materials.
- FSC Mix:
The product is a mixture of different materials of different nature, all of which pass the FSC legal verification, and then are mixed, including FSC wood, recycled materials or other regulated forest products. The regulated forestry industry is not as strict as FSC certification, but still avoids the use of improper raw materials such as illegal logging, genetically modified tree species, high conservation value forests, etc.
Benefits of MIRT furniture with FSC certification:
- Confidence in the origin of the wood: You can be sure that your furniture does not harm the environment.
