Sustainability

We craft John Boos products to last for years, and we make choices that support healthy, lasting forests too, from sourcing sustainable woods to using wood scraps for power generation.
RESPONSIBLE FORESTRY

Harvesting with the future in mind

By sourcing renewable, sustainable North American hardwoods like northern hard rock maple, American cherry, and American black walnut, we ensure product quality and help preserve natural resources.
ZERO-WASTE WOODWORKING

Making the most of every tree

We value and honor the wood we source by using every piece. All wood scraps and sawdust go into our wood-burning boiler to generate steam, which powers our glue press, heats our factory, and dries lumber in our kiln. This process ensures zero waste, supporting processes that are sustainable and highly efficient.
