“FSC” is the abbreviation of “Forest Stewardship Council”. The FSC was founded in Canada in 1993. It is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. It has already played a great role in our planets forest protection. We must thank FSC very much and show it our respect for its contributions and effort to save the earth’s environment.

However; for bamboo products, we don’t think it’s necessary to be listed on the FCS protection list. Bamboo is renewable, a bamboo tree can have many bamboo shoots every year. A mountain with a few bamboo trees can develop into a very dense bamboo forest years later even without human management. Bamboo trees are not like wood trees, which can only be harvested once.

Some customers from Europe and America ask for FSC certification when they buy bamboo products from us. We cooperate with the customers because we respect our customers’ views on environmental protection, but actually, bamboo products don’t need to be FSC certified.
