TPO 07- 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.
Recently, there has been a ton of debates about certification by international organization to promote the forestry practices which support ecological sustainability. More specifically, in regards to the passages, the author puts forth the idea that american companies may not opt for this 'echocertification'
In the listening passage, the speaker is quick to point out there are some serious flaws in writer's claims. In fact, the professor believes that american companies should go for this certification, and addresses, in details, the trouble with each point in the reading text.
First and formost, the author states that due the abundance in advertising of self claimed tag, people will not trust the another tag associated with wood product. some professionals in the field , however, stand in firm opposition to this claim. In the lecture, for example, the professor addresses this point and states that certification from an international organization is completely different than the self claim by most of the product companies. He goes on to say that customer are able to differenciate between these two.
A group of scholars, represented by author thinks that cost in getting ecocertification may add up in the selling value of wood products, hence people will not buy these products. In fact, though, not all experts in field believe this is accurate. The professor supports this by stating that, if differnce is less between the ecocertified wood product and normal wood product, then people choose other factor over price.
Finally, the author wraps the argument by positing that american wood companies need not keep up with foreign market as their customer base is domestic. Not surprisingly, the speaker take an issue with this claim by contending that if american wood companies do not keep up with international market, companies will have face compititon from foreign companies in America itself.
To sum up, lecturer and the author hold conflicting ground on the certificate issue by american companies.
