Toy company, Melissa & Doug, has announced it will be producing all paper and top selling wood products in 2022 as FSC certified.
The manufacturer originally shared its commitment to ensure 100% of paper products and more than half of its wood products sold are from responsibly managed forests by 2025, but has surpassed that goal.
Melissa & Doug launched Project Restore to further build on over three decades of caring for the environment. THe company uses mainly sustainable materials across most of its toys, and last year was the first major toy brand in the US to earn Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for its new stationery line, which was independently certified by SCS Global Services.
Bridgette Miller, chief marketing & sustainability officer of Melissa & Doug, commented: “We are proud of being able to accelerate our FSC ambition by purchasing FSC-certified paper and wood products for use in 2022. By ensuring our products help forests thrive and contribute to a healthy planet, we lay a better foundation for restoring play for generations to come.
“The acceleration of our FSC commitment comes at a time of uncertainty for parents and children and committing to preserve our environment is one way we can do our party to accelerate making the world a better place.”
