Smith & Fong Co. today announced it has secured certification according to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) enabling the company to produce the world’s first range of FSC-certified bamboo plywood and flooring.

Product will be available to the North American market by this summer.

“The independent European FSC-certifier Institut für Marktökologie (IMO) was impressed with our forestry practices and agreed that if we could meet the same FSC standards for a tree forest, it would certify our bamboo source,” Smith & Fong president and founder Dan Smith said.
