FSC + SVLK certified wood

Our suppliers Mentari International are deeply committed to protecting Indonesia’s natural resources and only work with reclaimed rubber wood that is SVLK certified.

The plywood used in the production of our toys is FSC certified.

In addition, for every reclaimed tree it uses, Mentari plants a new one, driving ahead the cycle of regeneration. Mentari/Tender Leaf Toys have been awarded the ICTI Ethical Toy Program seal of approval for their ethical and sustainable supply chain.

What is SVLK?


SVLK certification primarily focuses on verifying the legal origin of timber. It ensures that the wood is harvested and processed in compliance with national laws and regulations. This certification helps combat illegal logging and supports the efforts of governments to enforce forestry regulations.

SVLK promotes a robust system for tracking wood products throughout the supply chain. This ensures transparency and allows buyers to verify the origin and legality of the wood they purchase. Traceability reduces the risk of illegal timber entering the market and promotes accountability in the forestry sector.

Regeneration

SVLK certification often applies to wood sourced from plantations, which are specifically established for commercial purposes. Plantations involve the cultivation of trees in designated areas, ensuring a sustainable supply of wood products. The certification encourages the responsible management and utilization of plantation resources.

For every tree used, another is planted, so ensuring a continous system of regeneration.

We only use FSC certified cardboard

All the cardboard we use in both the Mentari and tender Leaf ranges is from an FSC certified supplier.

We now have completely plastic free packaging and all our products are wrapped in paper for protection during transit.

All under one roof

From raw wood to the finished product, every stage of production happens under the same roof in our factory in Indonesia. This means less transport between suppliers, and a more energy efficient way of operating.

Mentari/Tender Leaf Toys have been awarded the ICTI Ethical Toy Program seal of approval for their ethical and sustainable supply chain. 

All our products are shipped via sea containers.

We never use air freight!
