SUSTAINABLE FOREST INITIATIVE
INSITE® BIODEGRADABLE is faced with bright white paper liners manufacturered with wood products sourced from the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI).
Forest Certification is a market-based, non-regulatory forest conservation tool designed to recognize and promote environmentally responsible forestry and sustainability of forest resources. The forest certification process involves an evaluation of land management planning and forestry practices by a third-party according to an agreed-upon set of standards. Certification standards address social and economic welfare as well as environmental protection.
Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, SFI is an independent organization that sets North American-based standards for forest management. Endorsed by PEFC for global recognition of acceptable standards, it includes 135 million acres in North America and is the largest certification program in U.S. and Canada. With 212 participants, the program accounts for over 1.2 million acres re-forested in 2006 and over $880 million investment by participants in sustainable forestry research since program began in 1995.
