FSC stands for the Forest Stewardship Council and is an internationally recognized certification system that ensures paper products originate from responsibly managed forests that meet environmental, social, and economic standards.

The EU Ecolabel is the European Union’s official environmental certification scheme, established to help consumers and organizations identify products and services with a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle. Products carrying the EU Ecolabel must meet strict, science-based criteria covering aspects such as raw material sourcing, energy and resource efficiency, emissions, use of hazardous substances, durability, and recyclability.
