California Cedar Products recognizes the importance of protecting the environment. We adopt practices that minimize our impact on the environment. We strive to offer environmentally responsible products, and conduct business in an environmentally responsible manner.

While the Incense-cedar we use has always come from some of the best managed, sustainable forests in the world, our ForestChoice® products were the world's first pencil slats and pencils to be produced from wood sourced from forests managed under comprehensive environmental and social standards developed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This voluntary program includes routine third party audits to insure compliance with FSC management practices. The FSC label can be used only by products that can be documented as having originated in a certified forest. The FSC "Chain-of-Custody" certification provides this paper trail.

CalCedar also markets it's a broader range of pencils under it's California Republic Stationers. The California Republic program offers an attractively designed full quality range of packaged pencils ready for wholesale or retail distribution. Our Palomino® brand premium quality art and writing pencils have attracted growing interest from sophisticated users and and are also produced from ecologically sound Incense-cedar wood..

California Cedar Products Company's development of the Duraflame® firelog in 1969 replaced the burning of wood-fiber to manage our waste with a more efficient product using not only wood waste from internal operations, but also from the petroleum wax industry as well. Duraflame® firelogs have demonstrated to burn cleaner than natural firewood helping to reduce air pollution. Now a separate independent but related company Duraflame's NEW IIMPROVED firelogs have been reformulated for all natural, non-petroleum based products and are carbon neutral to the environment.
