Forest certification: chain of custody

The Eastern Ontario Model Forest has produced several videos in its Forest Certification video series. Chain of Custody (CoC) Certification provides a visually appealing and understandable overview of this often complex topic. A CoC label provides assurance to consumers that the wood used in a particular end product comes from forests that are sustainably managed to a set of established, third-party standards. The demand for certified products is on the rise in both domestic and export markets. All links in the supply chain from forest of origin, to sawmills, through to secondary manufacturers must all have a CoC in place to complete the chain of custody.
