Sustainable Procurement of Wood and Paper-based Products Guide and resource kit 1 2.16 Foreword Decisions regarding the purchase and use of wood and paper-based products can have far reaching, long-term impacts. Consumers, retailers, investors, and communities are taking an increased interest in how their buying decisions affect the environment. Will their purchase today help or hurt the availability of similar products or important natural resources for future generations? These decisions are also expanding rapidly as forests are being recognized as important renewable resources for addressing global warming and for renewable energy. A variety of tools, initiatives, and labels has been developed to guide consumers of wood and paper-based products. But many organizations that want to implement a sustainable procurement policy may not have the necessary resources and familiarity with the issues to efficiently sort through the myriad choices available. The purpose of this publication is to help them. This report was created to help procurement managers make informed choices. Specifically it: • Identifies and explains the central issues around sustainable procurement of wood and paper-based products; • Provides an overview of the key tools, initiatives, programs and labels currently available – a “Guide to the Guides”; and • Surveys the maze of slang, jargon and “techno-speak” that often stands in the way of effective understanding and communication. For the reader who wants more information, a companion website is available at www. SustainableForestProds.org. This website contains additional information about the resources available to procurement managers that are described within this report. The website will be continuously updated to reflect the latest developments in this rapidly changing field. For the reader who would rather have less information, a brief introductory report is available: Sustainable Procurement of Wood and Paper-based Products: An introduction. We believe that these resources will stimulate and help organizations of all sizes and types to find their place in the critical process of sustainable procurement. It is important that those decisions be based on the best available information. We welcome your comments, questions and opinions. www.SustainableForestProds.org Sincerely, Jonathan Lash Björn Stigson President President WRI WBCSD 1 Shaffer (formerly with Weyerhaeuser), Clifford Schneider Acknowledgements (MeadWestvaco), João Manuel Soares (Portucel Soporcel Group), and Erik Widén (Akzo Nobel/Eka Chemicals).

  • Challenges of Conservation and Sustainable Management of African Rosewood (Pterocarpus Erinaceus) in West Africa
    Chapter Challenges of Conservation and Sustainable Management of African Rosewood (Pterocarpus erinaceus) in West Africa Adjonou Kossi, Houetchegnon Towanou, Rabiou Habou, Segla Kossi Novinyo, Abotsi Komla Elikplim, Johnson Benziwa Nathalie, Alaba Pyoabalo, Ouinsavi Christine A.I. Nougbodé, Quashie Akossiwoa Marie-Luce, Kokutse Adzo Dzifa, Mahamane Ali and Kokou Kouami Abstract Pterocarpus erinaceus is an endemic and threatened plant species in arid and semiarid zones of West Africa and is highly exploited for timber, animal feeding, and various medicinal uses. The species is currently native to the Guinean forest- savannah mosaic ecoregion and reported from Senegal to Cameroon. The values of the main characteristics of the P. erinaceus forest stands (density, average diameter, À average height and average stem height) vary significantly (P < 10 3) from the Guinean zone to the Sahelian zone. It has high technological performance and can be classified as heavy and very hard wood with a density of the order of 0.80 Æ 0.07 g/cm3 and an average hardness of 12 Æ 3.7 g/cm3. The species is the subject of large-scale international traffic between West Africa and Asia, which is by far the greatest threat to the species. The various uses induce repeated mutilation and increase pressures on the species resulting in a significant reduction in its natural populations. In response to this situation, measures are proposed, including large-scale plant production strategies, the definition of minimum felling diameters, policy measures, etc., to meet the restoration needs of natural stands of P. erinaceus and the fight against climate change. Keywords: Pterocarpus erinaceus, socioeconomic services, wood properties, uncontrolled logging, sustainable management, West Africa 1.

  • Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607)
    Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607) by Nancy Ross Preface Since it was published in 1984, Tropical Timbers of the World has proven to be an extremely valuable reference to the properties and uses of tropical woods. It has been particularly valuable for the selection of species for specific products and as a reference for properties information that is important to effective pro- cessing and utilization of several hundred of the most commercially important tropical wood timbers. If a user of the book has only a common or trade name for a species and wishes to know its properties, the user must use the index of common names beginning on page 451. However, most tropical timbers have numerous common or trade names, depending upon the major region or local area of growth; furthermore, different species may be know by the same common name. Herein lies a minor weakness in Tropical Timbers of the World. The index generally contains only the one or two most frequently used common or trade names. If the common name known to the user is not one of those listed in the index, finding the species in the text is impossible other than by searching the book page by page. This process is too laborious to be practical because some species have 20 or more common names. This supplement provides a complete index of common or trade names. This index will prevent a user from erroneously concluding that the book does not contain a specific species because the common name known to the user does not happen to be in the existing index.

  • Mozambique's Charcoals: Anatomy of Nine Native Species

Lothário Meissner, 632, Jardim Botânico, 80.210-170, phone: (55) 41 – 3360-4275, Curitiba, PR, Brazil, [email protected] SUMMARY Most of the charcoal commercially produced in Mozambique is from natural forests, including high value species. This production often negatively affects the environment and one of the main reasons is the lack of sustainable forest management techniques. To facilitate forest control, we characterize the anatomy properties of charcoal made from Afzelia quanzensis, Amblygonocarpus andongensis, Combretum imberbe, Dalbergia melanoxylon, Guibourtia conjugata, Khaya nyasica, Millettia stuhlmannii, Pterocarpus angolensis and Swartzia madagascariensis. All these species possess high commercial value. The samples were carbonized at 450 °C for 1 h. Some shrinkage-related ruptures were present in charcoals, but the structure kept good definition of the cells features and did not influence the distinction of the species. The propagation of this knowledge would relieve pressure on valuable species and may also help with control of the charcoal supply chain.

  • Shaping the Debate on Forests and Climate Change in Central Africa
    FOREST DAY SUMMARY REPORT FOREST DAY CENTRAL AFRICA Shaping the Debate on Forests and Climate Change in Central Africa 24 April 2008, Palais des Congrès, Yaounde, Cameroon. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), organized “Forest Day Central Africa” on 24 April 2008 in Yaounde, Cameroon. This event was a follow up of Forest Day Bali, organized by CIFOR in parallel with the 13th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP13-UNFCCC). The theme for Forest Day Central Africa was “Shaping the Debate on Forests and Climate Change in Central Africa ”. The aim was to raise awareness and share knowledge and experiences on Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in Central Africa. This was achieved by bringing together researchers, NGOs, the private sector, forest communities and government officials to engage in dialogue about the issue. The first of its kind in Central Africa, Forest Day was attended by more than 150 people, including scientists, policymakers and representatives from various intergovernmental and non –governmental organizations. Results from a survey show that participants highly appreciated the event: of the 44 survey forms that were filled in, 21 people rated Forest Day as very good, 20 as good. In addition to opening and closing plenaries, the event comprised of four parallel sessions and a Forest Café. The themes of the four parallel sessions were: REDD and other forest management approaches in Central Africa; Methods, difficulties and results of forestry dynamics; the impact of REDD on rural poverty; REDD, markets and governance.
