FSC Certification extends its influence beyond just wood and paper products. It encompasses various forest-based materials used in everyday life.
Natural Resins and Oils
FSC Certification can apply to products like natural resins and oils derived from forests. This certification ensures that even these less visible components of our daily lives are sourced responsibly.
Medicinal Plants
Forests often harbor valuable medicinal plants. FSC Certification can be applied to promote sustainable harvesting practices, preserving these critical resources for future generations.
Technology and FSC Certification
As technology advances, it plays an increasingly significant role in the world of FSC Certification.
Satellite Monitoring
Satellite technology allows for real-time monitoring of forests, helping to detect illegal logging and ensure that FSC-certified forests adhere to sustainable practices.
Blockchain for Transparency
Blockchain technology is being explored to create transparent supply chains. It can verify the authenticity of FSC-certified products, from the forest of origin to the final consumer.
