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.
The article states that it is not convinient that wood companies in United states will issue the economical certificates. However, the speaker explains that it is convinient to apply for eco certificate and refutes each of the author reasons.
First, The reading claims that the American consumers are exposed to much of the advertisements that they would not pay attention to the eco-certification label. The speaker opposes this by saying that the consumers are smart enogh to identify the ads. he says that the customer has confidence in independence.
Second, The reading posits that eco certified wood will be more expensive than uncerified wood. The speaker opposes this point by saying the price difference is very less. he states that the people are aware of the factors other than pricing, The Environmental factors are much important than that of little extra pricing.
Third, The reading claims that pursuing certificate cannot always makes good business sense. The author refutes this by saying that the international customers can be attracted by certification. he states that many international companies are intrested in eco certified wood. If they are providing the certification then many compnanies will invest the money for eco certified wood.
To sum up, Both the author and writer has conflicting views on eco certification. it is clear that they will have trouble findng the common ground on this issue.
