Compliance
Duho Studios Statement of Compliance
Wood Products
We at Duho Studios are deeply concerned about our environment. Our material suppliers are in compliance with the Lacey Act, FSC, CPSIA, APHIS, CITES, ESA: in acknowledging and supporting other countries’ efforts to govern their own natural resources and global trade (legal harvesting and replanting practices, legal sustainable logging, legal production and trade, accompanied with valid permits and declaration requirements). We obtain our materials only from legally farmed, harvested, and sustainable sources that protect our planet’s forests.
Moreover, we are contributing members of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and a percentage of ALL our sales goes directly to the replanting of trees. Our hardwoods are all man grown, harvested, managed and replanted at tree farms/plantations. NO products are taken from the rain forests, or any other endangered environments, nor is it even a possibility under the Lacey Act and FSC guidelines.
Non-Ferrous Metals
Aluminum: Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust, where the chief source of aluminum is bauxite ore. Aluminum is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion and to be 100% recyclable.
Brass: Brass sheets are made from the smelting combination of copper and zinc, and is a cost effective engineered material. Brass is readily recycled without loss of properties and the infrastructure to do so has been proven over many years.
Copper: Copper is the world’s most reusable resource. Because of this quality, only 12% of the planet’s copper has been mined throughout history. Nearly 3/4 (72%) of the copper in our panels comes from recycled copper scraps.
Adhesives
Duho Studios is thinking greener by eliminating the need for and the use of solvent based products. We are using a Greenguard - Water Borne Adhesive which conforms to the changing environmental regulations. The adhesive used on our Duho Fine Art Panels are pH neutral, acid-free, and completely archival. Our adhesives provide a superior bond quality with reliable performance.
For Duho Studios, recycling is an important economic activity with significant environmental benefits. We promote a more efficient use of natural resources which results in energy savings and a reduction of waste sent to landfills. Because our materials are responsibly used and can be reused, the wealth of natural resources can be preserved for future generations.
