What does that mean?
FSC®-certified papers are sourced from responsibly managed forests that ensure trees are replanted and that wildlife, local communities, and the environment are not harmed. The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) tracks its paper from forest to consumer.
Why it matters?
One and a half acres of forest are cut down every second. The rate of deforestation equals the loss of 36 football fields every minute. Loss of forests contributes between 12% and 17% of annual greenhouse gas emissions….and we could go on and on.
Resellers and print providers that offer their customers FSC®-certified papers demonstrate a commitment to supporting sustainable printing practices that help our planet, which in addition, helps their brand. Consumers care increasingly about environmental issues. FSC®-certified paper is fast becoming the norm in the print industry. And this is the way we change the world—print by print.
