WASHINGTON<\/strong> \u2013 The Sustainable Forestry Initiative\u00ae (SFI\u00ae) has marked another milestone as Comet School Supplies of Palestine, Texas, earned the 1,000th SFI chain-of-custody certificate.<\/p>\n

\u201cSFI chain-of-custody certification began five years ago \u2013 we have 1,000 certificates at close to 2,500 certified locations and are adding more every day,\u201d SFI President and CEO Kathy Abusow said today. \u201cComet School Supplies joins companies of all sizes from countries around the world who value SFI certification as a sign of their commitment to responsible forest management.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSFI chain-of-custody tells our customers they are buying school supplies made with fiber from forests that are managed responsibly to meet today\u2019s needs, and those of future generations,\u201d said Ray Britton, President of Comet School Supplies.<\/p>\n

More than 180 million acres\/74 million hectares are certified to the SFI forest standard across North America, making it the largest single forest standard in the world. SFI chain-of-custody certification tracks wood fiber through the different stages of production, and tells buyers the percentage of fiber from certified forests, certified sourcing and\/or post-consumer recycled content.<\/p>\n

Recent enhancements to SFI on-product labels have strengthened the link between the claim on the labels and definitions in the SFI 2010-2014 Standard, making it easier for consumers to make informed decisions. SFI Inc. also introduced a unique label identification number in 2011 to facilitate the tracking of label users.<\/p>\n

The SFI chain-of-custody label is used by a wide range of organizations in 23 countries \u2013 from small printers and lumberyards to international entities. Buyers can find SFI-certified products through an on-line SFI Certification Database<\/a> that provides searchable information on all certificates for SFI forest management, chain-of-custody and certified sourcing standards.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
