A simple explanation of what FSC certification seeks to verify for forest-based paper and packaging materials.
Sustainability claims for hang tags go beyond the word “recyclable.” The Forest Stewardship Council supports responsible sourcing for forest-based products such as paper and packaging through certification systems.
FSC certification can help businesses demonstrate links to responsible forest management and traceable supply chains. Using the FSC logo, however, is subject to certification and trademark rules.
Instead of unsupported environmental claims, confirm the material’s certification status and the correct form of labeling with the supplier.
