A good example are our wooden birdhouses which are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified.
We normally get a 3rd party inspection company to check on our products before shipment as part of our quality control practice.

Benefits of using Bamboo
Sustainable – Bamboo can be cultivated and harvested every 3 -4 years.
Environment friendly - Its naturally waxed surface eliminates the need for coating, making it safe. Bamboo reduces carbon footprint by absorbing up to 35% of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Superior quality – Bamboo is three times stronger than timber. When compared with steel, bamboo has greater tensile strength, meaning it can withstand more pressure before breaking.
Lower transportation cost – The structural design of bamboo is unique and hollow inside; hence Bamboo is very flexible and lightweight. This help to reduce transportation cost.
