Hi Yuthadanai - This is a wood based credit. So I must ask this - does the 'fiber cement' contain 'wood fiber' as a binder AND is the product FSC Certified? It may be a composite product with enough wood content to qualify as an "Assembly" much like the FSC Certified brush I purchased at the hardware store recently. The brush had a wood handle + other non-wood components - it was essentially an FSC Certified 'Assembly.'
Best,
Doug
