FSC® stands for Forest Stewardship Council.
FSC® is the world’s number 1 certification program for sustainable forest management. FSC® speaks of this when the ecological, social and economic aspects associated with forest management are taken into account in a balanced manner.
The FSC® quality mark provides assurance that wood comes from responsibly managed forests. An FSC® forest consists of 30 annual sections, from which only 1 section may be felled each year. This part is then given 30 years to recover. As a result, the logging is less than additional growth in the recovery period. Selected trees are carefully removed and removed to prevent other trees from being damaged during felling.
FSC® focuses on nature conservation, but also on social and economic added value. Forest management provides a lot of employment and income for the local population. This strengthens the local economy.
The quality mark gives a future to people and animals that depend on the forest. Their rights are established and they are also involved in the forest management plan. Workers work under good conditions. They receive a fair wage and receive training to work safely. Forest managers must also comply with this in order to retain the FSC® certificate.

The aim of Fairtrade® is to minimize inequality in world trade and to improve the lives of small-scale farmers and workers in third world countries. Fairtrade® ensures that they receive a price that is in proportion to the production costs and not one that is determined by ratios on the international market. This gives farmers and workers a better income and trading position, and the opportunity to function independently.
Fairtrade® does not only focus on creating employment and income. It also looks at where the most help can be offered in terms of living and working conditions. This could be, for example, building a school or housing. In addition, investments are made in health care, environmental projects or the purchase of machines.
Farmers and workers who participate in the Fairtrade® program work under safe and healthy conditions. They work normal working hours and there is no question of child labor. Also find the work process takes place in such an environmentally friendly way.
In the Netherlands the Max Havelaar Foundation is the owner of the Fairtrade® quality mark.

GOTS® is recognized worldwide as the number 1 processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers.
This quality mark ensures that fabrics are made from natural and organic fibers and that the cultivation of cotton meets the criteria of organic farming. When you see a product with the GOTS® label, you can be sure that the entire process, from A to Z, has been tested and registered. From production, which is socially responsible, to processing, packaging and transport.
Only textiles that consist of 70% organic raw materials are allowed to carry the GOTS® quality mark. To ensure this, conventional fibers are separated from biological fibers.
The GOTS® quality mark applies strict environmental criteria. For example, factories must contribute to the reduction of waste water and chemicals such as printing inks and bleaches must be GOTS® certified. For example, they must be non-toxic and must be biodegradable.

ZEROTREE® is our internationally registered trademark. As the name implies, no trees are felled for the production of this paper, but what is it made of?
ZEROTREE® is made from natural raw materials such as abaca (banana leaf), grass fibers, straw or handmade paper that is made from cotton fabric residues from the textile industry. These are processed into sheets of paper which are used for bags and luxury boxes. The cords for the bags come from residual material from the production of jute. All products have a natural look or are coloured with natural dyes. The result is a new bag or luxury box with a recognizable structure.
ZEROTREE® is produced in a traditional way, from the manufacture of the paper to the assembly of the bag or luxury box. The result is a recycled, sustainable bag or luxury box. ZEROTREE® makes a social contribution to the developing countries where these bags and boxes are produced and is free from child labor. In short, a socially and ecologically responsible choice.
