What does timber certification actually mean, and why should frame and truss manufacturers care?
In this episode of F&T Time, Kersten Gentle sits down with Simon Dorries from Responsible Wood to cut through the jargon around Responsible Wood, PEFC and Chain of Custody certification.
They discuss why certification is becoming increasingly important, what it means for the frame and truss sector, and how manufacturers can demonstrate that the timber they use comes from responsibly managed forests and plantations.
Importantly, Simon explains how frame and truss manufacturers can achieve Chain of Custody certification through a group certification program, such as one facilitated by FTMA Australia, helping to reduce the cost and make certification more accessible for businesses wanting to get involved. If you've heard about Responsible Wood or PEFC but aren't quite sure what it means for your business, this episode is well worth a listen.
