Sustainable Forestry Product Labeling
We support labeling our products to help educate customers that the products they are purchasing come from sustainably managed sources. Nearly all of our North American-made forest products are certified to sustainable forestry standards. By the end of 2008, our goal is to use labels on all qualifying products to make that status clear.
In early 2007, Weyerhaeuser became one of the first corrugated packaging companies allowed to use the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® "Certified Sourcing" label on all of its U.S.-produced packaging. Our packaging exceeds the requirement that two-thirds of the raw material must be from mills with certified wood fiber procurement systems or from recycled sources.
