The printing industry is a huge consumer of paper, so it is in the vital interest of paper mills to be able to serve it continuously. A forest has few better stewards than a paper mill: it plants far more than it cuts down. We, too, consciously make sure that we only sell materials that come from responsible forest management, as their FSC certificates also show. We collect paper and plastic waste separately and pass it on for recycling.
Of course we also have recycled papers, link , from here on it is your decision how much you want to take this into account and communicate it
------------------------------------
FSC is the abbreviation of Forest Stewardship Council. It is an international, independent, non-profit organization whose aim is to promote the responsible, sustainable management of the world's forests.
The main goals of the FSC
- Promoting environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically viable management of forests.
- Ensuring sustainable forest management worldwide.
- Ensuring the traceability of wood- and paper-based products from the forest to the end user.
Types of FSC certificate
FSC Forest Management (FM) – Applies to forest management.
FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) – Applies to companies taking part in the supply chain (e.g. wood processors, print shops, the furniture industry).
FSC Controlled Wood – Comes from wood that is not illegal, not from endangered forests, not from the conversion of natural forests, not in violation of indigenous rights, etc.
The FSC logo
If you see an FSC logo on a product, it means that:
- The wood or paper raw material comes from a controlled source.
- Every participant in the production chain holds the FSC certificate.
- With your purchase you support management that is responsible from both an environmental and a social point of view.
