Green

Our organization respects the world's abundant natural resources and strives to preserve these by actively sourcing reclaimed, sustainable and environmentally conscious materials. That's why many of RWOW materials qualify for use in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects.

We support international, non-governmental organizations which promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests. Operating around the world, these organizations work to find solutions that encourage responsible steward of these resources. Throughout consultative processes, they set international standards for responsible forest management and evaluate forestry operations to determine whether they meet strict principles and criteria.

If an organization is determined to be in compliance, a certificate is issued recognizing that the company supports the growth of responsible forest management. The certified products are carefully tracked to ensure that green (certified) materials are not mixed with those that are not certified. This process is referred to as “Chain of Custody” and guarantees that the end consumer received products that originated from certified, well-managed forests and forestry operations.
