The Woodtone Way For Environmental Sustainability

The Woodtone Way defines our direction for environmental sustainability, combining our people, our community and our environment into a common thread that is woven throughout everything we do. From the products that we make to the packaging we use to the programs and practices we adhere to, sustainability is a core value in our business.

We are passionate about helping to shape the perception of wood as a sustainable resource and educating consumers on the properties of wood building materials and the important role they play in the building materials industry. #WoodIsGood!

Wood and the 3 R’s

The versatility of wood building products allows us to reduce waste on the job site, optimizing the materials we use. Any excess can be taken to recovery plants to be recycled or reused by another builder or homeowner without further wood harvest.

A Renewable Resource

British Columbia is known as a global leader in sustainable forest management. For each tree harvested, a minimum of four is planted. The suppliers we work with hold themselves to the highest standard of responsible forest management.

A Great Supply

Each year, less than 0.3% of public forests are logged. Due to responsible forestation requirements, forest growth is reported as exceeding harvest every year, in the United States and in Canada alike.
