sustainable wood
Responsibly harvested lumber
Sustainable wood is timber harvested in ways that maintain forest health and allow regeneration, rather than depleting resources.
The term appears in environmental and construction contexts: The furniture is made from sustainable wood.
Certification programs verify sustainable sourcing, though the label sometimes serves more as marketing than guarantee.
