What's Changed
Before USRW Certification, there was a lack of confidence in the sourcing and quality of urban, salvage, and reclaimed wood, resulting in untapped value.
With USRW Certification, businesses and products comply with industry standards for sourcing, processing, quality, and labeling, building consumer recognition and confidence in the sustainable and traceable management of the supply chain.
