All You Need to Know About FSC Certified Packaging

1. All You Need to Know About FSC Certified Packaging

2. Look around your home and you’ll start to notice the “FSC Certified” mark on common paper-based products like tissues, cereal boxes, paper towels, notebooks. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of ocean pollution and other environmental issues related to conventional packaging, thus choosing the brands based on the sustainability of their products and retail packaging. Using FSC-certified packaging and FSC-certified paper is a huge step for the company working towards sustainability. The Forest Stewardship Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing and promoting responsible forest management principles. The certification is only valid for materials derived from forests. In the case of packaging, this only applies to cardboard and paper. The goal of the council, which includes many different countries, is to ensure that consumers receive responsibly produced wood and paper materials.

3. There are 3 types of certificates issued- 1. FSC 100% Label: Materials are made entirely of virgin materials sourced from FSC-certified forests. FSC Mix: The materials are made up of a combination of FSC virgin fibre and/or recycled material. The amount of pre and post-consumer recycled fibre used is indicated on the recycling label. FSC Recycled Label: The materials are made entirely of recycled fibre. The recycling label, like the mix label, shows how much pre and post- consumer recycled fibre was used. 2. 3. Why should you choose FSC certified paper packaging for your business- Managing Dangers At some point along the supply chain, all of these credentials have been verified. That is verified ethical business practices throughout the whole supplier chain. This reduces the risks to the company's bottom line, such as those posed by an unethical supply chain. Improved Public Perception When brands have trustworthy credentials on their packaging, they look better in the eyes of consumers. The certifications that verify the packaging material was sourced and manufactured in a sustainable manner may indicate to consumers that the company is committed to sustainability.
