a year ago, and some of that plywood has been put up for sale by Menards, according to a report released Thursday.
"The suspect plywood is being sold across the United States," the report states, including by the retail home improvement company Menards, headquartered in Eau Claire.According to the report, the plywood was supplied from Russia to Menards by North American Plywood Corporation. Two leading ethical labels, the Forest Stewardship Council and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification , also"blacklisted wood emanating from Russia and occupied Ukrainian territory," Earthsight says. The PEFC and theThe U.S., meanwhile, raised tariffs on Russian birch plywood, according to the report.
This is because this plywood is very good quality and cheap.
Only simpletons are still obsessed with the 1950s spread of Communism. Russia is far from perfect (as is Ukraine). The spread of Nazism in Ukraine is a problem as was the brutality of Ruskis by Uke Nationalists (especially in the Donbass region), verified by my Ukranian friends.
Why do we even need plywood made elsewhere? Georgia Pacific, Weyerhauser and Boise Cascade all export wood products. Keep ours here.
China owns you all

You're not telling me that the three quarter inch Baltic birch plywood they sell at home Depot they don't come from Russia do they? I might have to raise the price on my cabinet work 20-25%
well of course... 'cause there is no war in Ba Sing Se
