In an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological standards by conserving resources and recycling materials. Companies that receive this certification can attract customers by advertising their products as ecocertified. Around the world, many wood companies have adopted new, ecologically friendly practices in order to receive ecocertification. However, it is unlikely that wood companies in the United States will do the same, for several reasons.
First, American consumers are exposed to so much advertising that they would not value or even pay attention to the ecocertification label. Because so many mediocre products are labeled 'new" or improved,'' American consumers do not place much trust in advertising claims in general.
Second, ecocertified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood because in order to earn ecocertification, a wood company must pay to have its business examined by a certification agency. This additional cost gets passed on to consumers-American consumers tend to be strongly motivated by price, and therefore they are likely to choose cheaper uncertified wood products. Accordingly, American wood companies will prefer to keep their prices low rather than obtain ecocertification
Third, although some people claim that it always makes good business sense for American companies to keep up with the developments in the rest of the world, this argument is not convincing. Pursuing certification would make sense for American wood companies only if they marketed most of their products abroad. But that is not the case—American wood businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise.
The reading states that the wood companies in the united states will not follow an ecologically certified process and it provides three reasons for its support. The lecturer opposes the arguments in the article by saying that the wood company of the united states of America does take a process of wood certification; the lecturer refuses each reason provided in the article.
First of all, the lecturer says that the consumers of the united nation are well concerned in the advertising process; especially, who is advertising, what they are advertising. According to the lecturer, people in the usa like an independent agency to promote a brand as a basis of their trust worthiness. By saying that it clearly refutes a point of, too much advertising in the usa, people do not believe an advertisement.
Secondly, the article posits that the eco-certified wood will be so expensive that the people will not prioritize the wood over a cheap one. However, the lecturer refutes this point by explaining that people of the usa do care about the price margin but, they will care about the other factor also if two products are somewhat identical in price.
At last, the author says that the wood company of the unites states may not care about an eco-friendly certification as it only affects an international market of the wood. but, the professor again rebuts this statement by articulating that they will have a big impact on their domestic market of wood if they discount a fact of the eco-friendly certification process of the wood. Because of the interest of eco-friendly in consumer societies in the usa, the process of the certification is necessary to compete with the international products in the home market than launch the wood in the international one.
