A sustainable step

As of September 1, 2021, we have taken a sustainable but also necessary step in the field of paper packaging. All paper bags and boxes that we import from outside the EU will be FSC® certified. With this step we work entirely in accordance with EUTR legislation.

What does the EUTR legislation mean?
The aim of the European Timber Regulation (EUTR) is to put a stop to the trade in illegal timber imported to the EU. Imported paper products must be traceable to the forests where the trees have been grown.

What is an FSC® certified product?
In order to be able to supply you with an FSC® certified product, all parts of the supply chain must be FSC® certified. This is from forest manager to printing company and also us as the final supplier. Each party must adhere to the FSC® rules and conditions. On the basis of audits, each party is checked annually by independent bodies. The certified product can thus be completely traced back to the forest where the tree was felled. Click here to read more about the FSC® quality mark.
