What is FSC®?
The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is an international, nongovernmental, nonprofit organization founded in 1993 following the Rio de Janeiro Environment Summit. Its goal is to ensure that forests are managed responsibly so that the needs of the current generation are met without compromising those of future generations.
The principles of FSC®
The FSC® has defined globally uniform basic principles for responsible forest management. Standards are developed and implementation and marketing methods defined for certified forest products. The main marketing tool is the FSC® label, the use of which is strictly regulated and must be approved by the FSC®. Management standards are then adapted at the national level to the specific conditions and possibilities of each country to ensure the best possible implementation.
The ten principles include compliance with laws, contracts and agreements, protection of workers’ rights and working conditions, economic sustainability of forest management, and monitoring of measures taken.
You can find a detailed list of all FSC® principles at fsc.org.
What does FSC®-certified mean?
The FSC® label guarantees that the wood used comes from sustainably and environmentally managed forests. There are three different types of certification:
FSC® 100%: The product is made entirely of FSC®-certified material.
FSC® Mix: The product contains materials from FSC® forests and other controlled sources.
FSC® Recycled: The product is made exclusively of recycled materials.
In addition, only FSC®-certified companies can use the FSC® label to promote and mark their products.
FSC® and label.it
Almost all of the papers available on etichetta.it are FSC® Mix certified. In our calculator you can see exactly which materials are certified: all FSC® materials are marked “FSC® Mix Credit.” In addition, you can choose between recyclable and recycled materials.
We focus not only on sustainable materials, but also on ecologically optimized production. Learn more about our sustainable labels and CO₂-reduced production.
