ENCASEMENT ACHIEVES FSC CHAIN OF CUSTODY CERTIFICATION FROM BM TRADA
Date: 16th June 2010
Peterborough based decorative casings company, Encasement Ltd, has achieved Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody (CoC) certification following a detailed assessment from leading accreditation body, BM TRADA.
The chain of custody certification is regarded as a key achievement by Encasement, as a large number of the company’s decorative pipe boxing and casings are manufactured from pre-formed plywood, which is produced from bonded wood veneers to create strong, lightweight and easy to install products.
Encasement’s FSC chain of custody certified product range will be offered alongside its existing products to provide customers with the widest choice and help them meet their obligations under the various sustainable buildings codes as the importance and use of sustainable materials in construction continues to grow.
Martin Taylor, Encasement’s Managing Director, explained: “We are constantly exploring ways of improving, developing and refining our products to ensure we continue to meet constantly changing market needs and the increasingly demanding expectations of customers, specifiers and contractors.
He added; “The use of products that are sustainable, energy efficient or can be readily recycled has already gained significant momentum in the UK construction industry and the fact that we can now offer products manufactured from timber originating from well managed sources makes it easier for specifiers to comply with regulations when selecting casing products for specific projects.”
The FSC CoC certification, awarded by BM TRADA, covers both ‘Pure’ and ‘Mixed’ product classifications for the wood used in the manufacture of all plywood products in its range including Riva, Riva D, Versa and Versa D pipe boxing as well as its boiler pipe casing range and Circa & Quadra column casings.
