Una-Lam and the Environment

We take very seriously our stewardship of natural resources. In our manufacturing process, we reuse all sawdust to help heat the plant through the winter.

Unadilla Laminated Products supports well managed forests. We are proud to be FSC Chain-of-Custody certified for purchasing, manufacturing and selling FSC pure and FSC mixed lumber for use in our custom glulam material.

If your project specifies FSC certified glulam, look to Una-Lam to provide that for you.

For companies like Una-Lam that manufacture certified products, certification means that the wood products have come from certified forests. All materials are tracked as they leave the forests and become products down stream. This “chain of custody” (COC) certification process is quite simple. Like any inventory control system, COC allows products to be segregated and identified as having come from a particular source—in this case, an FSC-certified forest.

FSC’s model of certification allows products that flow from certified forests to enter the marketplace with a credential that is unique. Any FSC labeled product can be traced back to a certified source. This aspect of the system is the basis for any credible certification system and is the link between consumer preference and responsible, on-the-ground forest management.
