The FSC label is the world’s most trusted mark for sustainable forestry. So what do these labels mean? Which product is best for you and your brand?
FSC 100%
All materials used come from responsibly managed, FSC-certified forests. Products with the FSC 100% label contribute most directly to ensuring the longevity of thriving forests for everyone.
FSC Recycled
The product with this label is made from 100% recycled materials. Using recycled material makes the most of precious forest resources and reduces the need to harvest more trees.
FSC Mix
The product is made with a mixture of materials from FSC-certified forests, recycled materials, and/or FSC-controlled wood. While controlled wood doesn’t come from FSC-certified forests, it mitigates the risk of the material originating from unacceptable sources.
