Wooden Products
The majority of our wooden products are made from FSC certified timber. The Forest Stewardship Council enables you to buy forest products of all kinds with confidence that you are not contributing to global forest destruction. FSC certified forests are managed to ensure long term timber supplies while protecting the environment and the lives of forest-dependent peoples. Whenever you buy timber or timber products always look for the FSC logo.
Packaging
We prefer to use recycled packaging when available and the majority of our outer packing can be recycled. We frequently re-use and recycle the outer boxes our products are delivered in, this allows us to produce less waste and ensures the items we send are well packed to minimise damage in transit.
