SCS Global Services has issued Recycled Content Certification for several products produced by Argentinian composite wood manufacturer, Sadepan Latinoamericana SA.

The Recycled Content Certification confirms that Sadepan's particleboards (tablero crudo), waterproof boards (tablero hidrófugo), and melamine boards (tablero melamínico) are made from a minimum of 58% 'pre-consumer' recycled wood derived from sawmill waste.

"Our independent audit has evaluated Sadepan's supply chain and production data to verify the sources of input material and determine the total percentage of recycled content in the finished composite wood products," said Alicia Godlove, materials services manager for SCS. "The certification will help accurately communicate this information to downstream customers."

The recycled ingredients used to manufacture Sadepan's particleboard consist of chips, sawdust, and wood trimmings derived from over 50 sawmills throughout the Entre Ríos Province of Argentina.
