Sustainable forest management

Hammock frames: Arcus, Troja, Olymp, Apollo, StarSet

Hanging chair frames: Atlas, Globo Stand, Globo Chair, Globo Royal

Baby and small child products: Leo, Hippo, Carrello Baby, Kid's Globo

To ensure sustainable forest management our suppliers use the following criteria as a guideline:

Conservation of large parts of biotope wood to conserve the natural habitats for (rare) plants, animals and fungi

Avoidance of clear-cutting

Natural forest rejuvenation

Precautionary measures to protect the environment

No use of chemical fertilisers and biocides

Planned management (balance between planned wood use and sustainability)

Humane and socially acceptable working conditions for employees

Compliance with claims of ownership and use rights of the forests

Why is sustainable forest management so important?
Diverse animals, plants and fungi have lived together and developed over thousands of years. They have formed a stable unit which is particularly resistant to natural influences.
Only human influences can throw this balance and cause rare living creatures and plants to die out.

To prevent this AMAZONAS suppliers use FSC criteria as a guideline and run their forests sustainably.

So by buying AMAZONAS products you are helping us support sustainable forest use.
