FSC ANZ is excited to introduce a new development that brings increased efficiency and autonomy to our valued Promotional Licence Holders (PLHs). With a focus on promoting responsible sourcing and effective communication with consumers, we are proud to announce the implementation of FSC Trademark Use Self-Approval program.

Plastic pollution has become an overwhelming global challenge, with annual production exceeding 400 million tonnes, half of which is intended for single-use purposes. Shockingly, less than 10 per cent of this plastic is recycled. Approximately 19-23 million tonnes of plastic find their way into lakes, rivers, and oceans. This ubiquitous material now clogs landfills, contaminates the ocean, and releases toxic fumes when burned, posing a major threat to our planet.

Abodo Wood, a renowned New Zealand FSC-certified timber company, has unveiled an exciting development in the form of the Cardrona Alpine Village, built using FSC materials from responsibly managed forests. Situated in Cardrona, Wanaka, an area known for its high construction costs, Abodo has successfully constructed three stylish and affordable homes as part of the first stage of this project.
