ISPM 15 certified heat treatment

What is ISPM 15?

ISPM 15 is an international standard that protects global forests and ecosystems from invasive pests that can hitchhike on wood packaging.

Heat treatment (HT) is the preferred eco-friendly method - using heat instead of harmful chemicals like methyl bromide.

Why Heat Treatment is Better:

  • • No chemicals or residues
  • • Safe for food-contact applications
  • • No ozone-depleting substances
  • • Wood can be recycled after use

Protecting Global Ecosystems

ISPM 15 heat treatment isn't just a regulation - it's a critical tool for protecting forests and ecosystems worldwide.

Why Heat Treatment Matters

🐛

Prevents Invasive Species

Wood-boring insects like the Asian Longhorned Beetle have devastated forests when introduced via untreated pallets.

🌳

Protects Native Forests

Invasive pests can kill millions of trees, destroying habitats and ecosystems. Heat treatment stops them at the source.
