Mixed Sources

Products with a FSC Mixed Sources label are made from a mix of FSC certified and non-certified (but controlled) sources. Under the Mixed Sources program, wood comes from FSC certified well-managed forests, company-controlled sources and/or recycled, reclaimed, or salvaged material.

Company-controlled sources are controlled, in accordance with FSC standards, to exclude illegally harvested timber, forests where high conservation values are threatened, wood from genetically modified organisms (GMO), wood whose harvesting violates people’s civil and traditional rights, and wood from forests harvested for the purpose of converting the land to non-native plantations or other non-forest use.
