Metro Hardwoods the Premier Distributor in the Midwest has partnered with Plyboo (Smith U Fong) to distribute FSC Certified Bamboo Products. PlybooPure FSC bamboo panels are the perfect fit for innovative materials in LEED projects.

This is significant for two reasons. First, it's the very first non-wood-based FSC certification on the planet. Second, and perhaps most important, it provides validation for Smith & Fong's long commitment to sustainable forestry in bamboo.

Third-party validation enables architects, specifiers, fabricators and consumers to know that the products they're using come from a source that is managed to high social and environmental standards. And our certified Plyboo products qualify for the FSC Pure designation, as they are 100% FSC material from an FSC-certified forest and have been sold and/or processed by an FSC chain-of-custody certified company. This is not only a success for the forests and the farmers who grow our bamboo, it’s a victory for everyone who believes in an environmentally responsible future.

Smith & Fong’s chain of custody (COC) certificate is from the SmartWood program of the Rainforest Alliance: SW-COC-003124.

In 2008 PlybooPure FSC-certified bamboo flooring was selected as a "Top-10 Green Building Product" by BuildingGreen, publisher of Environmental Building News, the architecture and design industry's most respected source of information on sustainable building and design.
