The Laminex Group is the first Australian company to achieve Chain of Custody (CoC) certification for a Low Pressure Melamine (LPM) plant from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
FSC CoC certification is a stringent traceability system developed by FSC to ensure wood fibre is legally sourced and traded.
"The CoC process involves tracking the final product, including all stages of processing, manufacturing and distribution, to ensure the final product is only produced from legally-sourced wood fibres," says The Laminex Group’s Greenfirst manager, Andrew Hripko.
Only CoC certified products are labeled with FSC trademarks, making it easy for consumers to identify environmentally preferable building products.
The company's Ballarat LPM plant joins the Cheltenham veneer plant in being CoC certified.
