Forest Stewardship Council: Guidelines for the Sustainable Management
of Forests
At Meker, we select solid wood or panel suppliers who are FSC certified as much as possible.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) principles and criteria set out a management framework to be followed in order for forests to meet the social, economic, ecological, cultural and spiritual needs of current and future generations.
In terms of forest management, FSC rules are the strictest and highest in the world.
ABS vs. PVC
We select our edgings in ABS instead of PVC for purely environmental reasons. Not only are they more resistant to shocks and heat, but also, unlike PVC, ABS is recyclable.
Non-Colored Varnish
Our use of water-based varnishes is in line with our conscious desire to lessen the industry’s impact on the environment, by removing the use of solvents and their dispersion in the air.
Solar Energy
Our various sites are all equipped with solar panels in a bid to reduce our energy consumption. Our production facility and showroom are supplied with solar energy all day long, and are connected to a reserve battery system. Without the need for a backup generator, we thus reduce our fuel consumption and atmospheric pollution. Our energy policy is a deliberate participation in the global movement seeking to reduce energy consumption and its impact on the ozone layer.
