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 to so 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.
To encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international organization started issuing the certificates to wood companies. Companies will receive "ecocertified" tags after successful verification from the organization. Passage states that United states companies may not do the certifications but lecture contrast that and feels they will also slowly move towards Eco certification.
First, Passage suggests Americans consumers are attracted towards more advertising and does not bother much about certifications but lecture refutes by saying they distinguish between advertisements. Lecture also suggests that if some independent consumer agencies with International tag comes and advertises the same it would be more attractive for customers.
Second, Passage suggests American consumers are interested in less price products however lecture states that if there is no significant difference in the prices say 5% then they may look of certification tag which also is preserving and protecting compared to other products. So companies may not think of price until there is not significant difference.
Third, Passage suggests that American companies will not adopt to international guidelines as it have business only in United States whereas the lecture suggests United States companies should also adapt to this else it may increase competition among foreign products and local products. Slowly Foreign products will come into United States market and ready to sell Eco certified products. Lecture also feels that foreign products will come with good quality than the US goods so customer base would decrease for US based companies if they do not follow this Internal certification.
