Maarten Willemen – Bouwen met hout uit duurzaam beheerde bossen is de norm

Maarten Willemen is chairman of PEFC Netherlands, the association of companies that use certified sustainable wood. He has a lot of experience in the wood chain close to the forest: wood harvesting, the trade in ’round wood’ and its processing. He is convinced that wood is the most sustainable raw material we know, provided that the forests from which this wood comes are also sustainably managed. Under that condition, wood has been the precursor for other biobased raw materials for centuries, and is therefore part of the solution.
