Q: In what way(s) is the wood used for the Myakka items "ethical"? Is there some sort of guarantee that it is not from areas where indigenous peoples are living from the forest, or perhaps that it is from renewable sources?
A: Myakka is a family-run business with a passion for high quality, well-designed furnishings. They believe strongly in supporting society and the environment: and are proud to be an accredited importer and member of BAFTS (the British Association for Fair Trade Shops). Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, which seeks greater equality in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions, securing the rights of marginalized producers and workers and increasing environmental awareness and responsibility.
Myakka furniture is made of either Sheesham (also known as Indian Rosewood) or Acacia wood, grown in managed forests in India. The trees are fast growing and are felled after approx. 8-10 years of growth, under government-approved forestry schemes, before being sawn in approved mills and transported to the production unit.
