Sustainable forestry
Since 1999, the PEFC label has certified sustainably managed forests and wood processing companies. Maderas Holztechnik has held this certificate for many years. As a customer, you benefit from the chain of custody for the use of certified wood.
PEFC stands for Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification . This certificate serves as a transparent control system for verifying sustainable forest management based on national standards. In Germany, about three quarters of the forests are currently PEFC-certified, and worldwide there are over 330 million hectares of certified forest. PEFC represents sustainable, careful, and responsible forest management. It provides consumers with binding proof of sustainable management.
