Bamboo, cork and other non-timber forest products – Responsible sourcing

Non-timber forest products, such as bamboo and cork should be responsibly sourced to minimise the environmental impacts and protect local ecosystems. However, as they are not timber or timber-based products, these fall outside the scope of the Prerequisite.

Where such products are integrated into a building, they should, nonetheless, be assessed and included in the calculator under ‘Other materials’.
