Description
What does the FSC® certification say?
Responsibility for our forests
The FSC® seal certifies the ecofriendly origin of materials and compliance with strictly controlled standards throughout the supply chain. We source our raw materials only from FSC® certified forest regions. This is how we ensure that our paper-based packaging is produced according to the principles of fair & environmentally friendly forest management.
Who stands behind the certification?
The globally recognised organisation Forest Stewardship Council® is committed to the conservation of our forests and sustainable reforestation. The primary goal is to ensure environmental and social standards in the management of forest regions. By the way: As a packaging company, we have signed the declaration of principle that we are committed to the values of the FSC®. You are welcome to view this declaration at any time.

FAQ
Here are questions & answers
What exactly does the certification communicate?
The certificate makes it possible to trace the packaging materials back to the source. It guarantees that:
1. trees are replanted in state-owned areas
2. workers along the supply chain are paid fairly
3. the interests of indigenous populations are not threatened by the production process
4. materials are produced in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and international contracts
5. production contributes to the development of local communities and high conservation values are maintained
6. most certified papers contain a significant proportion of recycled paper pulp.
To become certified, all links in the supply chain must be audited and approved, which ensures 100% continuity of the packaging supply chain.
Do I have to pay to use the seal?
In our shop you can configure the seal directly with your packaging - you only pay a usage fee of 0,02€/piece.
Does the certificate apply to all Packiro materials?
The certificate only applies to our paper-based packaging Nils, Ben and Robin.
Am I allowed to advertise with the certificate myself?
Your purchase does not automatically make you a partner of the organisation - but of course you are welcome to communicate that the paper of your packaging comes from sustainable forestry. However, the seal must not be used.
Explanation: Since the FSC® certification and the terms FSC® and Forest Stewardship Council® are protected trademarks, you need your own advertising licence. If you have acquired this, any use of the logo must still be approved by the FSC®.
