FSC-Certified OSB, Plywood, Hardwood Lumber, and Utility Poles from Louisiana

In addition to ROM’s forest operations, four different manufacturing operations were also certified under FSC chain-of-custody rules.

In so doing, the ROM companies have made available the first-ever FSC-certified oriented strand board (OSB), one of only two sources of FSC-certified softwood plywood—the other is Roseburg Forest Products in Roseburg, Oregon; a third company, Collins, closed its FSC-certified softwood plywood mill in 2000. ROM also produces the nation’s only FSC-certified concrete forms, a variety of FSC-certified hardwood lumber species, and the first and only FSC-certified pressure-treated utility poles. These products are described in more detail below:
