Environmental Issues

Interior Timbers are fully aware of environmental issues and the need to support sustainable, renewable resources.

Timber has the advantage of being a natural, renewable, biodegradable material that is also waste efficient and non-toxic. We support the sustainable management of forests by only sourcing from credible suppliers both in New Zealand and overseas who meet our quality standards.

All our products are manufactured from timber taken only from forests under sustainable management programmes. “Sustainable Management” refers to a carefully monitored and managed forest where older trees are felled and replaced with seedlings which then grow into mature trees, ensuring constant resource renewal.

We want to play our part in keeping New Zealand clean, green and safe for future generations.

Environmental issues are extremely important to Interior Timbers. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), zero formaldehyde panel emission and low VOC coating products and recycling are all issues taken seriously.

Interior Timbers Ltd offers full Forest Steward Council compliant products where specified and is pleased to discuss and design products to suit.
