FSC Certification Frequently Asked Questions:
What does FSC Certification for paper and recycled paper mean?
FSC stands for the Forest Stewardship Council®, an independent organization that develops standards for responsible forest management and forest-based products. FSC certification helps verify that materials identified as FSC certified are sourced and handled according to FSC requirements throughout the relevant supply chain.
What is the difference between FSC 100%, FSC Mix, and FSC Recycled?
The FSC has three different certification labels for paper products:
• FSC 100% certifies the product is 100% material harvested from FSC-certified forests.
• FSC Mix certifies the product is a combination of FSC-certified virgin material and recycled fiber.
• FSC Recycled certifies the product is made from 100% recycled materials.
FSC has made it easy for consumers to verify recycled products—all they have to do is look for the FSC label when shopping.
Why Choose FSC Certified Packaging?
FSC certification provides an additional level of transparency when choosing paper and other forest-based packaging. For businesses looking to reduce reliance on conventional packaging materials while prioritizing responsibly sourced paper products, FSC certification makes it easier to identify products that meet recognized sourcing and chain-of-custody requirements. Browse our FSC certified packaging products to find paper and bamboo foodservice packaging for your specific application.
Is FSC certified packaging compostable?
Not necessarily. FSC certification and compostability address different characteristics of a product. FSC certification relates to responsible sourcing and the supply chain for forest-based materials, while compostability relates to whether a product can break down under specified composting conditions. Check the individual product's certifications and specifications to determine whether it is compostable.
