This certification ensures that forest management meets strict environmental and social standards, such as preserving biodiversity, protecting indigenous communities and preventing excessive deforestation. By choosing environmentally friendly paper, you make a conscious contribution to sustainability and social welfare. Not only do you contribute to the conservation of wildlife and human forest habitat, but you also support safe working conditions and help local communities reap economic benefits.
Benefits of FSC® packaging
FSC® paper and FSC® cardboard offer various benefits. The biggest advantage of choosing certified paper is that it contributes to well-managed forests. There is also an increasing focus on recycling wood and paper to encourage reuse. The FSC® Recycled label can be applied to both wood and paper derived from recycled material. Moreover, this recycled material can be part of products covered by the FSC® Mix label. The condition for using recycled material is that the company is certified and that the material is at the end of its life cycle, e.g. when it is considered waste.A key benefit of responsible forest management is its contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. According to the organisation, deforestation causes about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. By managing forests responsibly and using wood sustainably, CO2 is stored and excessive deforestation is avoided.
Certified paper plays a role in this regard as well. It is produced from wood fibres sourced from responsibly managed forests and can be recycled into new paper or cardboard after use. Because this renewable raw material can be put to multiple new uses, renewable paper is a good alternative to materials that cannot be reused. As a result, it contributes to a circular economy and a longer life cycle of materials.
How to recognise an FSC® packaging?
Certified products bear the official FSC® label. This is a recognisable label indicating that the product comes from responsibly managed forests. The label guarantees that the product complies with strict environmental requirements and pays attention to social and economic conditions within the production chain. The label can be found on both paper and cardboard. It is a reliable way for businesses and consumers to make sustainable choices.FSC®-certified products at Bestbuyenvelopes
