Wood Furnishings carry the FSC label only if their manufacturer is a Chain-of-Custody (COC) certified by an FSC Accredited Certifier. The COC process allows a wood product to be tracked fro ma a tree in a well-managed forest, through all stages of processing and production, and finally to its final form. Palmieri Furniture Ltd. Earned COC certification in 2002 after successfully completing the Rainforest Alliance Smart Wood Program. As such, Palmieri is able to offer a broad range of library furnishings that carry the FSC certified label and consequently meet the standards prescribed by the LEED Green building rating system.
Virtually any variety of hardwood can be obtained from FSC certified forests in North America. In addition, Palmieri’s selection of eco-friendly furniture features a unique, responsibly grown premium hardwood called Lyptus, which can be harvested in just 14 to 16 years. It is plantation-grown in Brazil among reintroduced indigenous trees to preserve the natural habitat.
