SEATPLY recognizes the important role industry plays in protecting and preserving our environment for the present and for the future and is committed to being a leader by example.
SEATPLY was issued an F.S.C. CoC certification on November 2010 by the Rainforest Alliance. As such, we are committed to purchasing and using only F.S.C. certified or controlled woods. An F.S.C. CoC certificate was also obtained by our partners in Malaysia. All the veneers we use come from logs harvested from legal sources. We seek evidence of compliance from suppliers that they are operating in accordance with the laws of their country. It is company policy never to use wood that has been illegally harvested, wood from genetically modified trees, wood from areas where traditional or civil rights are violated, wood from uncertified high conservation value old-growth forest, wood harvested in forest being converted to plantations or non-forest use.
Furthermore, as an industry leader in the manufacturing of molded plywood components SEATPLY strives to meet the following goals:
- Minimize waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible,
- Recycling 100% all wood and metal waste,
- Sourcing and promoting products that minimize the environmental impact of both production and distribution,
- Minimize harmful emissions from our adhesives by using the lowest emission resins available on the market,
- Minimize harmful emissions from our finishes by using only water-based products.
- Minimize toxic emissions through the use of electric forklifts and hybrid cars.
