SHORT
TERM
- Achieve "integration" for a number of sustainable products
by the year 2004, meaning the products are used in mainstream commerce
and are profitable.
FSC
Certified Wood and certified organic foods have already achieved this
integration. Sustainable products are those products providing
environmental, social and economic benefits, and protecting the needs of
future generations, public health, welfare, and environment over their
full commercial cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to final
disposition.
Note: This goal was achieved by the certification of over 30 mainstream products to consensus sustainable product standards MTS developed including the California Gold Sustainable Carpet Standard adopted for all State carpet purchasing and the SMART© Sustainable Fabric, Apparel, Textile, Flooring and Building Product Standards. These Standards were initially approved in 2004.
-
Double market penetration every year through the year 2007.
Such
progress means the availability of sustainable goods in 30 percent of the
marketplace.
LONG TERM
-
Achieve exponential growth by 2010. MTS
will report the characteristics of exponential growth rate and how it is
measured, e.g., stratified random surveys with a 5% or less margin of
error.
-
Increase market penetration to 90% by 2015.
Currently,
FSC Certified Wood and certified organic foods are estimated to have
reached the 1% level. Yet if the top 100 product manufacturers implemented
the metrics and protocols of sustainability the 90% level is readily
achievable.
