In an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological standards by conserving resources and recycling materials.
Companies that receive this certification can attract customers by advertising their products as ecocertified. Around the world, many wood companies have adopted new, ecologically friendly practices in order to receive ecocertification. However, it is unlikely that wood companies in the United States will do the same, for several reasons.
First, American consumers are exposed toso much advertising that they would not value or even pay attention to the ecocertification label. Because so many mediocre products are labeled ‘new" or improved,’’ American consumers do not place much trust in advertising claims in general.
Second, ecocertified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood because in order to earn ecocertification, a wood company must pay to have its business examined by a certification agency. This additional cost gets passed on to consumers-American consumers tend to be strongly motivated by price, and therefore they are likely to choose cheaper uncertified wood products. Accordingly, American wood companies will prefer to keep their prices low rather than obtain ecocertification
Third, although some people claim that it always makes good business sense for American companies to keep up with the developments in the rest of the world, this argument is not convincing. Pursuing certification would make sense for American wood companies only if they marketed most of their products abroad. But that is not the case, American wood businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise.
The reading article and the lecture explains about the usage of ecocertified woods in the United States. The passage points out the reasons for not selecting the mentioned wood. On the other hand, the lecture contradicts the article and claims that the wood is accepted by the American people. Some of the points are mentioned below.
Firstly, a paragraph posits that although the citizens in the State are prone to the advertisements, still they do not find more satisfying from the promos of the products. On the other hand, the speaker claims that customers rely on many advertising agencies, so they visualise the products differently each time.
Secondly, the passage avers that to achieve a certificate for ecocertified woods, will add more cost to the product. The expenditure will rise in order to maintain quality standards. Moreover, the companies have to maintain low prices, as the people will prefer to buy cheap uncertified wood rather than the costly wood. On the contrary, speaker argues that the buyers will not pay attention to price, as the price range within the states in not exceeding 5 percent. So customers can pay more in that case.
Lastly, a paragraph portrays that the companies within the United States has to sell their products in other countries because the local customer is satisfied with the services and products of the companies. But, the speaker opposes the idea and expresses that the companies pay attention due to global competition and maintain their market within the country.
In conclusion, it can be inferred that the passage spreads information about the points considered by the customers in order to oppose the ecocertified wood. Opposite, the speaker counters the articles’ information and provides the points in choosing the ecocertified wood by the customers.
