12% Increase in Post-consumer Wood Recovery
From NTPSG (Australia): The National Timber Product Stewardship Group (NTPSG) is well on its way to achieving the goal of one million tonnes wood recovery per annum following the recording of a 12% increase in the 2006-07 financial year. The recovery of post-consumer wood is estimated at over 530,000 tonnes in 06-07 up from 474,000 when it was previously measured.
The GFTN-Malaysia, formerly known as Kumpulan Khazanah Hijau or KKH, was established as part of WWF's Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN) initiative. The GFTN aims to eliminate illegal logging and improve the management of valuable and threatened forests.
GFTN-Malaysia was established by WWF-Malaysia to improve access to responsible markets as well as forest management in Malaysia. The Malaysia FTN promotes and creates links through business to business partnerships as well as between companies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
By raising consumer and corporate awareness about more responsible practices, the GFTN-Malaysia influences wood and paper procurement policies for the public and private sectors.
