Look for the PEFC seal for sustainable forest management.
Around 30% of the world’s land area consists of forest. There are 60,000 tree species growing there. One cubic meter of wood binds one ton of CO2. In addition, the forest floor filters and stores our drinking water and one tree alone produces the oxygen for more than 30 people per day.
A quick look at these figures shows what the forest does for people. That is why it is so important to treat the forest properly! Wood not only binds CO2 as it grows, but also when it is processed into high-quality products.
However, only active and sustainable forest management can ensure the useful, protective, welfare and recreational functions of forests and guarantee them for future generations. This will ensure that the versatile and sustainable raw material wood will continue to be available to us in the future.
This is what PEFC – the seal with the two green trees – stands for and works for.
PEFC is the leading institution for promoting and ensuring sustainable forest management. PEFC originates from the structure of European small forest owners, can now look back on more than 20 years of existence and is represented in 55 countries worldwide. 330 million hectares of the world’s forests are managed in accordance with the PEFC forest standard.
In Austria, half of the national territory, around 4 million hectares, is covered with forest. Of this, more than ¾ of the domestic forests are already actively and sustainably managed in accordance with the PEFC standards.
The forest in the shopping basket.
In everyday life, we are not always aware of the variety of products that contain wood. Of course, office furniture, chopping boards and crayons are clearly recognizable. With other products, it is not so obvious: paper packaging, handkerchiefs and even fibers for our clothing are also made from wood.
The consumers in front of the shelf ultimately decide which type of production and value creation they support by making a purchase. However, in this moment of decision, within barely a second, each individual can make a difference. How?
Pay attention to the forest when shopping! Look for the PEFC seal for products from sustainable forestry.
