At Duce Architectural Timbers, we recognise the role our industry plays in shaping a sustainable future. That’s why we partner exclusively with suppliers who are certified, transparent, and committed to responsible forestry and ethical manufacturing.
From plantation hardwoods to engineered and reclaimed timbers, our products are chosen not only for their quality and aesthetic appeal but also for their contribution to a sustainable built environment.
We support manufacturers who are investing in cleaner, more efficient production methods, including low-waste milling, energy-efficient kilns, and recycling initiatives that repurpose offcuts and sawdust into usable products.
By choosing engineered timber systems and advanced surface treatments, we help reduce waste while maximising performance and longevity. Our suppliers are constantly innovating to deliver higher yield and lower impact products, ensuring that sustainability never compromises strength, design, or beauty.
Every supplier we partner with upholds strict environmental and chain-of-custody standards, including FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC™ (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certifications.
These global standards ensure our timbers are harvested from responsibly managed forests that promote biodiversity, protect habitats, and support local communities.
Whether it’s Australian hardwoods from sustainably managed native forests or imported engineered timbers from certified plantations, our sourcing practices ensure traceability and accountability every step of the way.
Sustainability underpins everything we do. We believe that timber, when responsibly sourced and properly managed, is the most renewable and environmentally friendly building material available.
Our range includes timbers that carry FSC®, PEFC®, EPD, and Declare certifications, ensuring every product meets the highest environmental standards.
We actively support forestry initiatives and supply chains that focus on renewable resource management and reduced environmental impact.
By working with forward-thinking manufacturers, we help create a future where timber design contributes positively to both architecture and the environment.
