What Green Means to Us
We source, mill and sell over 95% of all of our products within the qathet region, making a significant impact on reducing our operational carbon footprint. In all of our operations we aim to save or re-use resources instead of throwing away to the landfill.
BC GREEN BUSINESS Certified
We are proud to say we are certified at the highest level with BC Green Business.
As a member, we undergo annual audits that verify aspects of our environmental and sustainability practices. These evaluations help us track progress and identify opportunities to make continuous improvements toward our goals, including energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, and sustainable purchasing.
Through BC Green Business, we are part of a network of 250+ businesses across BC.
Here are some measurable impacts that we went into our Green Certification:
-
Over 95% of all logs are sourced within 50miles of our operations
-
100% LED lights in all operating buildings and offices
-
All wood residuals (mulch, sawdust, sidecuts) are re-used or sold
-
Over 80% of our cleaning products are non-toxic & biodegradeable
-
All paper products on site are made from recycled materials
-
We work with local businesses to repurpose their waste in ways we can use in our business (ex. Townsite Brewery malt bags)


Supplied by Powell River Community Forest
Post & Purlin sources a significant amount (>80%) of logs from the community forest and all are milled right here in Powell River - making P&P a full circle operation within 50 miles.
The images are a 3D map created by James Tyrwhitt-Drake, showing the Community Forest tenure, outlined in yellow. Forests within this region are carefully stewarded by the PRCF, with the proceeds of sales used to fund community projects as well as city expenditures - over $30million since 2006!
The bright green regions show the Tla'amin Nation Conservation Network, which protects key ecological regions from harvesting and creates corridors for wildlife. The map also highlights parks, major forest service roads, the Sunshine Coast Trail, hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as campsites, water intakes, & salmon hatcheries.
