The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has extended its blockage of Zhejiang Anji Double Tiger Bamboo & Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Anji Double Tiger) and its alias, Zhejiang Anji Shuanghu Bamboo & Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Anji Shuanghu), until July 2027. <\/span>This move comes after the company continued to make false claims regarding its bamboo plywood products, despite a previous ban in 2022.<\/p>\n

FSC took action after evidence emerged that the company, which operates under multiple names, had engaged in deceptive practices despite being blocked in 2022. The company sought recertification under a different name but failed to disclose its certification history to the new certifying body, continuing its fraudulent actions. FSC\u2019s investigation uncovered repeated instances of false claims about the volume of bamboo plywood sold, as well as manipulative behavior aimed at obstructing investigations into its actions.<\/p>\n

The extent of the false claims and deceptive practices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anji Double Tiger and its associated company, Anji Shuanghu, were found to have made false zero-sales claims while continuing to use the FSC certification on their bamboo plywood products. Additionally, the company attempted to block investigations by its certifying body and Assurance Services International (ASI), which threatened the integrity of the FSC certification system.<\/p>\n

FSC\u2019s decision to extend the blockage reflects the severity of the company\u2019s actions. According to FSC, these manipulations not only undermined the trust in FSC-certified products but also pointed to a deliberate effort to misuse the certification process. The company\u2019s failure to cease its deceptive practices even after being blocked in 2022 indicates a continued intent to subvert FSC rules.<\/p>\n

As a result, Anji Double Tiger and Anji Shuanghu are now prohibited from:<\/p>\n

-Claiming FSC certification on their products.
\n-Using FSC trademarks or logos on any of their goods.
\n-Seeking re-certification, either individually or through a group certificate.
\n-Engaging in FSC-certified supply chains as contractors or suppliers.
\n-This extended blockage will remain in effect until July 2027 or until the company has taken corrective actions to address the issues identified.<\/p>\n

The implications of the blockage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The blockage of Anji Double Tiger and Anji Shuanghu serves as a strong warning to other companies in the bamboo and wood industries. By enforcing strict consequences for false claims, FSC is reinforcing the importance of maintaining the integrity of its certification system, which is designed to protect forests and promote sustainable sourcing practices globally.<\/p>\n

While this move specifically targets the company in question, the implications extend beyond just one manufacturer. FSC's decision highlights the growing importance of transparency and accountability in global supply chains, especially in industries like bamboo plywood, where claims of sustainability are often a major selling point.<\/p>\n

The extended blockage also underscores FSC\u2019s commitment to maintaining the credibility of its certification system, which is considered the gold standard in forest certification worldwide.<\/p>\n

A growing concern: false claims in bamboo and other sustainable products<\/strong><\/p>\n

This extension of the blockage is part of a broader effort by FSC to address a rise in false and misleading claims within the bamboo sector. Recently, concerns have been raised over the misuse of FSC certification in products like bamboo toilet paper, with reports revealing that some companies were misrepresenting the use of FSC-certified materials, substituting bamboo with other unsustainable timber fibers.<\/p>\n

In one high-profile case, several bamboo toilet paper brands, including Bazoo, Naked Sprout, and Bumboo, were found to be using timber fiber linked to deforestation while falsely claiming to use sustainable bamboo. FSC launched investigations into these brands, which led to the identification of multiple suppliers within their supply chains that were not meeting FSC's rigorous standards.<\/p>\n

FSC has issued a formal statement expressing serious concerns about these misleading claims, emphasizing the need for greater vigilance and transparency in the industry.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
